Courtyard (colored Pencils)by ~zoee7

Traditional Art / Drawings / Landscapes & Scenery

I loved drawing this picture. I liked the challenge of how to do the floor.
First, it's all brick, then you have the light from the windows and the light from the roof. I lost count of how many times i thought that i was done with it then decided to erase something.
Have you ever had one of those moments where you just can't seem to get some thing on your drawing right and you try and try, and then suddenly you look at it and think "I really like that" but have absolutely no idea how you did it? Thats how the floor was for me.
Looking at it now I think, now why couldn't I have just thought of that in the first place, but when you are looking at it as just a sketch, and have no idea what it looks like at night, little things like where the lights on the floor go, is kind of a big deal.
Anyways, enough of my rambling. This picture only took me a month to draw. It's done with prisma colored pencils and some black ink and white gel pen.
I hope it looks alright on everyone's computers, it looks fine on mine, but I also think the pictures do the real drawing justice.
