I chose to draw Stonehenge for my critique drawing. I have many personal photos and vintage clippings and papers in my private collection of Stonehenge to use as reference. The first time I saw Stonehenge I was 13 years old. I was expecting to see something way bigger than what I expected. All those school textbook drawings done by Inigio Jones were way out of proportion. Sometimes when I am over in England, I imagine redoing the signage for the National Trust or English Heritage sights. Everything needs an upgrade over time.
I planned my first idea to have the monument, stone map, and a close up insert. My second idea was to have a panorama of the stones, and a UFO flying overhead. After speaking with the instructor, I chose the narrative without the UFO. People will fill in what they want to believe.
