more tests

I really love this structure, it is the 'Architecture Faculty at the Polytechnic Institute of Minsk'

It is such a crazy piece of design, the lecture theatres on the right end all overhang over each other, which is the angle I am working from. (below) I am so fascinated by the immensity of this architecture, it looks like a huge submarine coming out of the sea. 






Again I tried with and without the lines, and I think the lines are definitely needed to make it more of an interesting piece. 
I also tried being a bit more experimental with the lines, by continuing the draw parts of the building which I think works well.


I am really pleased with how this came out. It is starting to come together as a proper composition, all the lines are sort of working together as a piece in itself.

I like the transition of white lines into black as it hits the building, creating more of a contrast. 

Although these are not finished, I am pretty sure this is the direction I want my final images to be in, I am thinking big scale posters of these constructivist structures could be very effective in communicating my point of this architecture as statement architecture. It was built in a period of change and stands for people rebelling against what formerly oppressed them, standing up for themselves and I feel these illustrations are on their way to portraying this architecture as loud, in your face, statement pieces.
