This turned out stunning, fantastic work!
Thank you! Eight evenings well spent!
Thanks for sharing! It looks great and I appreciate the effort it took!
Oh thank you! You’re very welcome!
This is absolutely amazing! I love all the little details – the graffiti, downspouts and vents…
Thank you! This was the gnarliest alleyway I’d ever seen. It cried out to be drawn.
Awesome perspective work! Congratulations Case!!!
Thank you! And a lot of that is directly because of the book you recommended. It really taught me a lot!
Hell yeah I’m glad it was of use to you! This is what an art comm is about! Sharing and growing together. <3

Really reminds me of the video game Stray :)
Ooh, this sounds like something I should look into. Is it good? I’m coming to the end of Disco Elysium so maybe I’ll give it a go…
Well worth the effort.
Thank you! I think so too, now my hand has uncramped and I can look at it without going crosseyed.
Nicely detailed. It looks like it would take a lot of time and concentration.
Thanks! This was eight evenings – by the end I was thoroughly sick of looking at it!
This looks great, what techniques for perspective did you use? I’m very amateur and have only really done 2 point perspective
I learned from a book called Perspective Made Easy.
To be honest, I wouldn’t hold this up as a great example. There’s a lot wrong with it. I insist on drawing freehand, but if you want to do the job properly, a ruler is a must, if only to pay out the guidelines. I’ll probably do that for the next big project.
Thanks, I’ll give it a look. It’s been really hard for me to find art books that actually give practical advise.
I typically do use rulers, but if you’re referring to the slight curve on the buildings here as they go up, I actually really like it. I know it might not be what you were going for, but it feels like what it feels like to be in an alley like this for me, sort of a fisheye effect that makes the top of the building look more closed in maybe.
Anyway, thanks again!
If you’re looking for art books, I can thoroughly recommend that perspective book, plus Barrington Barber’s Fundamentals of Figure Drawing – that’s a really good one for drawing people. Also a Giovanni Civardi’s Figure Drawing: A Complete Guide. Excellent resources I wouldn’t be without.
