Started on this last night. It is the backdrop behind the BNSF team track. There is a huge metal fabricating complex with numerous buildings.
A few photos of the real thing:
I took a whole bunch of photos of the real thing from various spots, then sized them and pieced them together to what felt right. Then used a pencil to transfer the basic building outlines onto the wall.
Then began blocking in the colors.
So far, this hasn't been hard, just used a level, ruler, straightedge and pencil to draw in the geometric shapes, then put in the colors with craft paint. Still have a long way to go, the vegetation, the details, shading, all that.
I was thinking of biL while doing all this.
