Using the hydraulic piston cylinder as the base measurement for the entire scene, I mapped out the pencil drawing on a two page spread. Several times I had to reinstate the base line of the main engine. I found it helpful to bring up the edge of the sketchbook to guide me where to put the lines in proportion to what I'm seeing. Here's the sketch - a work in progress. I might come back to it again one day to finish accenting the lines for the post and the power lines, cast shadows, etc.

Excavator Equipment
When it was time to sketch another heavy equipment, I knew exactly where to proceed in town. I happen to pass by along St. Roch Avenue two days ago and saw this huge excavator prominently parked at a big development site.
