Canary Wharf

Did this pic of Isle of Dogs / Canary Wharf over a couple of days. Just experimenting with river panorama style drawings. Amazing to think how long this view would have been low rise, just wharfs and warehouses. Now there's a huge mountain of office buildings, like a mini city.

Narrow Street in the rain


I drew this from underneath some overhanging plants, as it was raining a bit. In the end the rain got so heavy I had to give up and head home. This is an old building, but the windows have been replaced with some more modern frames, maybe double-glazed. There's a mix of old and new along the street, but the newer ones tend to reference the old warehouses in their design. This was an old building which is now attached to a new block (the wall on the right).
