It Takes Up To 6 Months,

to complete one to these amazing panoramas, 

all images © Paul Hiles, he been producing aerial landscapes and cityscapes since the mid-1980s when he studied Fine Art at Birmingham Art School, his degree exhibition in 1986 featured an 18ft-long triptych of the industrial Black Country, the factories and coal-burning power stations near Dudley, but then set his sights on London, above Nelsons' Perspective, from the article;

'I roughly sketch out the main drawing. This can take a whole day, involving changes and rubbing out until I'm happy with the composition. I then work on the drawing for up to six months, fine-tuning it with the last stages being all the hidden details, i.e. stories, influences. classic cars, people, names or designs on buildings, lorries, vans or boats. This helps to keep the viewer interested. Once they find one hidden unexpected detail they continue to search for others'.
