A net loft
The commission I am working on at present will consist of a second drawing. This will be a detailed cutaway drawing of one of the muiti-function buildings at the heart of the fisheries complex. These included net lofts, where fishing nets were inspected for faults and if nessecary repaired. Good light was essential for these tasks, so large skylights were often used, as well as windows in end walls. This sketch is one way I have of working out how to show these features, and the processes involved in caring for the nets. It is also we good way of focusing on the drawing currently on the drawing board as details like the fenestration can be work is into the picture. The reference picture for this was taken in the early 20th century, in Bridport, Dorset, which like Suffolk supported a large herring fleet. Pentel 0.5mm mechanical pencil in A4 sketchbook.
