      Ooh, this sounds like something I should look into. Is it good? I’m coming to the end of Disco Elysium so maybe I’ll give it a go…

        Definitely! And it’s quite short and vibey so would be a good palette cleanser after Disco Elysium. Really recommend it.

    Nicely detailed. It looks like it would take a lot of time and concentration.

      Thank you! I think so too, now my hand has uncramped and I can look at it without going crosseyed.

    This looks great, what techniques for perspective did you use? I’m very amateur and have only really done 2 point perspective

      I learned from a book called Perspective Made Easy.

      To be honest, I wouldn’t hold this up as a great example. There’s a lot wrong with it. I insist on drawing freehand, but if you want to do the job properly, a ruler is a must, if only to pay out the guidelines. I’ll probably do that for the next big project.

        Thanks, I’ll give it a look. It’s been really hard for me to find art books that actually give practical advise.

        I typically do use rulers, but if you’re referring to the slight curve on the buildings here as they go up, I actually really like it. I know it might not be what you were going for, but it feels like what it feels like to be in an alley like this for me, sort of a fisheye effect that makes the top of the building look more closed in maybe.

        Anyway, thanks again!

          If you’re looking for art books, I can thoroughly recommend that perspective book, plus Barrington Barber’s Fundamentals of Figure Drawing – that’s a really good one for drawing people. Also a Giovanni Civardi’s Figure Drawing: A Complete Guide. Excellent resources I wouldn’t be without.
