Description I don’t know where it is. Seems like somewhere in Europe. The scenery is very nice, looks relaxing and romantic; I would say it’s a very good place to live, hehe...

It’s a practice for pen drawing, drawn by following a tutorial in book. First trial on using parallel line technique. I think I have problem in controlling the tone using pen (and this technique). The drawing seems too dark.

Just shoot me, again. Ha! I need advanced critiques and advices.

Good pen work! Interesting technique and hell of a patience to achieve that.
However, I felt that having vertical lines throughout kinda makes the image a little gloomy.

Thanks! Now I only realized it looks gloomy. I just feel the vertical lines make everything looks flat, no 3D illusion; it's my problem, maybe, or maybe not. >.<

You're most welcome!
*laughs don't worry, there are always good and bad things about a particular line technique, which is why most people use a combination of different ones

Sweet! XD I always love traditional pen!

The only thing I can say is that the perspective looks a little teeny bit off somehow. I don't really know, but the light and the buildings in the background seem a little awkward.

But otherwise, this is so brilliant! XD

Thanks!

Yep, i didn't taking consideration on making a perfect perspective for that. so i just simply drew the lines without finding out the vanishing point. and the buildings look rather flat; not enough 3D, coz the tonal value problem.

thanks, lili! huu huu.. i love this style too (although quite contradicting with the theory "line creates direction", lol..). gotta work harder for it.

yctham In reply to Azureseilue [2007-01-21 07:59:06 +0000 UTC]

thanks! yep, lot strokes from up to down had to draw. it's worse when dealing with architectural objects - lines must be straight. big challenge. so envy my friends can draw damn straighttttt line.
