Hey, thank you all for the comments! I'm really motivated to draw more now. I do see it's too small, for sure. I have trouble committing to the huge amount of work that a bigger canvas requires... But I really, really enjoyed this picture! It's been a while since I've taken my art seriously... A long time... But mostly because I got frustrated and scared I'd never be able to the art I really wanted to make. This picture, though, and your comments, really renew faith in my ability, or potential at least!

Thanks!!

Next picture will definitely be larger.

You just need a little more confidence in yourself! I used to feel the same way =) I don't think a bigger canvas requires more work, just longer lines...lol ;p....but whatever the size canvas, it's the effort you decide to put into that particular drawing. Some drawings get more effort than others depending on mood, inspiration, time...etc... altho this is rather small, I can see that you put your effort into it and worked with it. Keep it up! And welcome to 2d! I'm elly, nice to meet you =)

Thanks Elly! I feel like you really do know my problem pretty well, and love the perspective you put it in!

I agree with Flubbles. I'm proud of how well I did with it so far, but there's a lot of things that aren't right. The thing I notice most is the right side of the building that juts out: I made it a lot longer than it is in the reference picture. The left lower side isn't long enough, too, and other things are either too tall or too short, like where you can see inside up at the center of the building. I may try fixing those things... Maybe not. Don't know yet.

But I'm loving this! And thanks everyone for the comments!

Turned off anti aliasing and drawing those two lines down there made a mess! Internet Explorer 8. Maybe I should use Firefox instead.
