Great job on perspective - something I really struggle with. I love the different textures you’ve got as well. Only thing I can see that would improve the drawing are the buildings in the background - they seem to be just a tad out of whack with the bridge. ---

I think the drawing was using a super wide angle/near fisheye lens reference which makes the verticals tilt outward on either side, it is difficult to reproduce that distortion or correct/convert to rectilinear without a Lightroom or Photoshop lens correction step. ---

Hi Trevor @trevowen I really like this portrait with a couple on a bench. I assume this was drawn on a toned paper. What was the type/brand of paper and the size of your drawing? Terri Robichon ---

Hi Terri ! , glad you like it , actually it’s mainly HB /#2 pencil on A4 office scrap paper - if you look carefully you might see the printout showing through lol. Low light when I took the photo with my phone probably makes the paper look toned , I forgot to adjust the light balance before posting , but I don’t like editing images in case it misrepresents the artwork ---

Hi Trevor - Editing to make art look more like the actual and to correct changes that happened during the photography process is always okay. Keep posting. I like your work. Terri Robichon ---

@trevowen Beautiful piece! I agree with @robichon, editing your picture shows your art for what it truly is. I also thought it was toned paper. Please keep posting! Sonia ---

apropos of nothing in particular other than Christmas dinner and having stuffed myself , here’s a drawing I did a couple of years ago of Brit fast food (nice big serving of proper chips (fries !)) ![20221104_142027](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/b/bfd047b3b96cbe9b09eb7a9231b2f5c1b7216c32.jpeg) ---

Very nice tootbrush, Elina! Great perspective and so realistic, I like especially the bristles! Well done. I saw somewhere you are drawing everyday, so well done for that as well! Keep going 🙂 It makes me feel I wanna try to draw this toothbrush soon 😀 ---
