Urban Sketching

I have been veering away from my original artwork quite a lot recently, so I decided to go back to pen and ink, and work on a little urban sketch of a street in Spain. I photographed a bit of my progress, and it turned out quite lovely. Here we go.


 Started by laying out perspective using pencil (as you can see on the right), and then started to lay out details using my 005 micron. I try to avoid crosshatching at this point.

I continue to lay out details along the city.










In the next photo, the finished product, the crosshatching is also finished, and I added clouds to add variety. This is a relatively monotone picture and the Urban sketch definitely emphasizes detail over value.
