Faithful Rising/ GPO roof.

Eamon Bulfin on the roof of the Dublin GPO, on the tuesday night after Easter, after raising the flag.
The first rough for the client. The circle of sandbags with cannons was inaccurate so had to be dropped.
Ink detail 1: When drawing architecture, I try to avoid using a ruler as much as possible as it tends to make the drawing stiff and technical- looking. The major lines are drawn with a ruler, of course!
Ink deatil 2: It was tricky getting photo reference for this view. I referred to several pictures from different angles.
The fireworks really did happen on the tuesday night and were set off by children.
Full- scale artwork. Again, many different photos were used for reference. The tram lines were especially tricky in terms of sourcing images. Thanks for Looking!
