Sometime late last year street artist Hense came to DC to work on an abandoned church south of the Capitol Hill area. The project had some minor controversy over whether this was respectful to the history of this particular site, but nonetheless it's pretty awesome and fun to see up close. [You can check out more about the project at Design Boom.]
I certainly couldn't sketch this without involving all these great marks and colors, so it took me a little while longer than usual to finish the drawing. I sketched the basic structure and a little of the surroundings on site, but had to color it at home... after running to the art store for a few more markers...

Thanks everyone. I indeed used Prismacolor markers, but I first filled the space of the church with a white from my gel pens to ensure the colors would be as vibrant as the actual building.
