Curia Julia in the Roman Forum

 HELLO!

Lately I wanted to practise drawing an architecture. This exercise would be helpful when I'll be doing a Cityscape (one of my 3 aims). So I was searching through various photographies on postcards, or in the books. And I found an inspiring one. It was a photo showing Curia Julia (Latin: Curia Iulia) in the Roman Forum which comes from the book about past and present Rome (the polish edition of R. A. Staccioli's book).

Forum Romanum, Curia Julia's building. 
Source of photo:
R. A. Staccioli, Rzym kiedyś i dzisiaj z rekonstrukcjami, Rzym 2008, s. 23.

So I chose an object. Then I pick a pencil, and started sketching.

Below you can see stages of creating a picture.

And that's the net result.

Curia Iulia, pencil on a paper, 14,8 x 21 cm.

Not gonna lie, this was quite challenging. The net result satisfies me in some way.

That's all.

What do You think about my sketch?

Let me know in the comments below.

Have a Nice Day!
