HOUSES

i thought id have a bash at drawing or extending on pauls original houses ideas... they were a little lavish and elaborate for surry hills. but i shall show u all anyhoos.

[an idea for the little government owned houses + a sketch of pauls pops car]

so, surry hills is a part of town for the low socioeconomic family [it was in the 1930s and it still seems to be that way now] heres some picatures i found of it nowadays...

[image found at http://ninglunbooks.wordpress.com/about/this-blog-comes-to-you-from-surry-hills/ it has interesting info about people growing up in surry hills and discussion about the slums in the area etc]

this one above is of surryhills today. they almost look like something fresh out of england. osh-by-gosh!

this is something from the city streets of england. just some food for thought whilst drawing.

this is a picture that came up when i typed in 1900 house. quite old and run down. lovely.

and of course some of the older looking buildings. this is a busy street in redfern, not so far away from surry hills.
here are some good old reference pages i saved on a word doc. got lots of old shots of sydney and such...

these are some drawings i found to get my drawing tactics from. just for the first draft work.

i got some good feedback from amanda and paul, and am going to try and arrange so the houes look more cartooney. becoz obviously my drawings are too detailed and dont match the characters or settings of the oldschoolghettoslum look. so i thought if maybe something like this style, but not as extreme...

whell thats all for me for now. ill chuck my new stuff up in a jiffy!
