Thought I would try to line draw a photo I took in Spain on holiday when we were out… Not great as there’s no definition between areas, No tone or value and watercolour would enhance it 100% ![IMG_20220924_103155795](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/6/665b0c4fb7ff24b09dde161730f4f642b2b99920.jpeg) ![IMG_20220923_122856392](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/6/65989960646409694b2b430943a1b1c459008d81.jpeg) ---

Hey @Dannomiss89! I love the drawing, its very pretty. One thing i did notice, however, is that the right side of your building is coming out a little too much. Like its leaning. It looks cool and abstract but i dont think it was what you were going for.😅 Hope this helps a little. Keep up tje good work! ---

I think it worked out really well. Good job. ---

I like it! You’ve completed your first line art! 😄 You could use a protractor to get the angle should you wish to perfect the wall, but I think it could be a characteristic part of the piece the way it is. I also like how you left the wires out of the inked drawing, looks 1000x better that way! Keep it up! 👍 ---

Well done on having a go. Not an easy subject to do and you’ve done pretty well to get the perspective in there. I like the addition of the hills to the right and that you left out the wires. ---

Thank you. Yeah I got the perspective wrong on the building but it was then too late 🤣 ---

Thank you. Yeah yeah the wires were distracting and there are actually mountains behind the building in the other direction so thought that would look good ---

Added a little light grey to the other one as well ![IMG_20220925_235629653~2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/9/9bd06b605dcd5532b9517009067290335a83fea8.jpeg) ---

Another line drawing, yay! Definitely love the street lamp! And the gray aids in conveying the sense of depth in both. Awesome work 👍 👏 😁 ---

Cool. Have you seen @housesketcher on Instagram? He does ink and marker drawings. I agree, watercolor (or markers) would enhance the drawing. Keep it up! ---
