Messy House Series Pt.3
September 23, 2010 § 13 Comments
A few more drawings for my Messy House Series. This time I have drawn a floor plan and the view from my window, which was suggested in a few comments. I was going to separate the drawings up, however the internet will be cancelled tomorrow so I will put all my latest drawings in this post.
I first attempted to draw the table from the head of the table; however I found it really difficult to draw the chairs under the table. It was so difficult to get the perspective right, so I compromised and drew it side on instead.
The mat is really like a lava lamp.
As you can see I have a pharmacy right next to my apartment. Over the road there is more shops and job centres. Above them are more flats and an office block. Not the pretty area in Chartres but at least we have some trees and flowers to look at, and usually loads of dogs going for their walks. Oh and the balcony is not ours it is downstairs we do not have any. :(
The flat looks bigger in this drawing than it actually is.
Finally started packing, made a nice pile of flatpacks in the corner where the table was.
I would like to draw the outside of the building, hopefully I will have time to pop out before Sunday.

These drawings are delightful, so glad you took my suggestion of the floor plan and what is outside your window. All your drawings are lasting memories, something you can look back on and recall the days spent in this place.
Hope you get to draw the outside of the building and do have someone take your photo…another way to add to the memories, what you looked like at this time. Wish I done this with all the places (interesting/diverse) I have lived in my long life. Sigh.
Thank you, I am glad you like them! I think I will try and draw the building tomorrow, I am sure I can find a spare hour somewhere.
You can start drawing the house you live in now, :) And it is nice you went back to the house you lived in years ago. I will probably come back here frequently as I have made some friends for life.
I really like your drawings. What one simple line will tell.. I is an excellent memory-book of your old house.
Thank you, :) I really like the simplicity of the drawings too. Before I used to put too much in, now I think my style is much better.
I REALLY like these drawings! Great job – thanks for sharing.
I like your Messy House Series! It’s very interesting how only lines can be beautiful! I love that simplicity!
You’ve made a great job of getting all the different details down, I especially like the window view and the suitcase and boxes makes a good end. Happy moving, hope everything goes well!
It doesn’t look messy to me. Great series of drawings.
Good luck with the move.
awesome series! ^^
I wish that I had thought to do this for all the places I’ve lived!! Excellent!
I’m with Raena – it’s such a great idea I wish I had done it! This is delightful, and I love seeing the floorplan! Can’t wait to see your next home! nancy
Your simple lines are very effective–great work! I hope your move goes well.
Thanks everyone for the messages! The move went well and I am starting to draw the old furniture in this house. Hopefully I will continue to have interesting results and maybe some colour this time!
