Cosy Street

by Lawrence

Here's the preliminary sketch.

This is based on Br0kenGlass's photo Cosy City on dA as seen here.

Really like this picture because when I see it I think how nice it would be just to relax and be sitting along a street like that and just....well, if I were actually there I probably would be drawing it too! Anyways it's lovely and I would love to live in a place like that. As it is, cosy.

Here are the shades I did, first with the front block, picture below. I thought the bricks turned out alright. I was really happy with the window, that looked really nice.

 

 Drawing the foliage was a new challenge for me as there were lots of dark areas and the original photo resolution was quite blur. I was actually going for a really exact picture for this sketch, but because it was slightly blurred I had to compromise a bit. But it turned out alright, the experimentation turned out well.

I complete this picture just now and the final sketch can be seen here.
