final piece development

 Decided to do a series of these illustrations, chose this building - the 'Rusakov Workers Club' in Moscow. From 1917, workers clubs were used as platforms for teaching Marxist values to the working class. I just love how architects designed these innovative structures that were to be used for such ordinary uses, there was no hierarchy with who gets access to these buildings. 

I have gone with this rather than the radio tower because I feel the structure works better with this collage style. It is still a constructivist design and has the same striking affect with its blocky, bold presence. 


Used same style as before, by elongating lines and sections of the building to bring the structure out more. 











I started editing and adding colour on photoshop, but annoyingly I managed to fill in part of the image with colour where it shouldn't be and can't undo it, so will have to start again...
