Description tools of trade: HB and 2B pencil

Also one of my older works (2009). I did it because they tore this wonderful old station down, so I just wanted to keep the memory up. I may look run down, but with a bit effort it could now shine in its former glory... I tried to catch an angle most people would remember: the one passing on with a train.

Well, I guess I should take a look through your gallery more often. And I think you should draw more often. I really like the perspective on this one. You really managed to capture the point of view very well, the distinction between fore and fading background. While I agree, that the image seems a bit "Foreground" heavy (e.g. with the elephant ), it also fits to the moment you wanted to depict - where you have a very narrow focus while you are just starting to drive by and the details in the background become clearly visible only shortly after.
There are so many fine details - always impressive for me how you can draw so cleanly with pencils.

I hope to see more like that

I should definitely draw more often ;_; I hardly ever come around doing more than some fast sketches for a project lately. Yeah, this damn elephant Back then I thought it was a good idea to have it clear and distinct there, but I should have considered my light way of drawing first xD Pencilwork has always been my best, though. University tried to get me away from it and rather to drawing with Penxacta but (fortunately) they never succeded. Old habits die hard

I know how you feel about not having the time and inspiration to do it, but I think it would be really cool if you did. Also, that's the one thing about traditional art - you can't go back and change it as easily as you can with digital work. Which is sometimes a good and at times a bad thing - but essentially something that makes it unique. I actually had to look up Penxacta though...

Totally right about that! I actually do prefer traditional to digital mainly because of these reasons as well. But also because of the printing stuff and diversing colours.... Though I really would like to dig in deeper in digital art as well! Sorry about Pentxacta, it's actually just a brand for this kind of pens, and not even the best one either Just some architectural term you get used to use

Sorry for being so long with commenting, when you linked me a sketch of dogs and wolves, I was a bit confused, since I looked at that picture plenty of times and still had nothing to critique, since I'm not good at animal proportions : o

I like this artwork a lot, recently I started being into drawing buildings, too, and it's becoming more and more interesting. I like the simplicity of this drawing, this makes a feeling of silence for sure. Soft lighting is very nice, too. I don't see any problems with perspective and shading. The only few things I can say - the elephant is so bright, that it looks like the closest thing to a viewer, maybe if you drew some black outlines on leaves or just made them more contrast, it wouldn't look like that. Actually, I'd add more contrast on foreground objects in general, but this is just a subjective thing, I guess.

Many thanks I guess you're right with the elephant, it came out a bit harsh

That is wonderful... I remember drawing a similar perspective before(building) but I couldn't do it as good as this. Really nice, I love it even the smallest detail I can see. But I'm seeing one spot that I can't recognize... What is that small drawing beside the building(top left from viewer's view) that looks like it has an eye...? My eyes could be playing tricks on me...

Ah! I knew it looked somehow like an elephant... but didn't expect that it will be really an elephant...
I see, so adorable!

hey! I think this is very good, I like it a lot. The perspective here is wonderfully done My only critique would be that the image seems very monotonous, value wise, it seems very white washed. You could probably add value to either the sky or the ground (or both) to fix this pretty easily. That said, I still very much like this piece and will be adding it to my favourites, I think you did a very good job of capturing the feel of this place and the nostalgia you attached to it is conveyed very well in the piece alone (I also like the inclusion of the graffiti).

Thank you for your kind criticism I think you're right about the thing with the sky and the ground... I think I would have also addeded a bit more, but I did this for school and unfortunately had no more time... Perhaps I'll do it one day
