Now it is done - at last: first lines were drawn after a delayed period of several months.
The church of Petäjävesi (Central Finland) is accepted by UNESCO as an important cultural value. It is'nt very big but it is beautiful! Dark timber walls, roof made of small wooden pieces...
First step took est. one hour: to find the total shape of the building and add the neighbouring trees. Then some hints of the patterns of the walls and roof.
How many lines should be drawn tomorrow? Not too many. This drawing should not be a document of every detail of the church. I try to avoid my tendency to make pictures too complete.
And the question of colours. Shall I use them (colour pencils) or not? Would B&W be better? Let's see tomorrow...
I will take photos of all steps of this drawing and add them here in my blog as soon as everything is ready.

I'm looking forward to see the church. I would use colors, but only a bit, so that it makes the contrast better.
I'm also looking forward to the drawings about Auguste, the Troll and Opa. I was my self thinking of illustrating it, but I'm not a good painter or drawer, so all my atempts failed. So it will be really interesting to see, how you immagine the figures of the story. Because if something only is written, people imagine it really differently.
good luck with the church and with Olaf, Auguste and Opa.
Greetings Jeroschka
