Here is my original pencil drawing, titled "La Belle Époque".

Drawn entirely by hand using graphite on 180g Bristol paper.

I wanted to blend classical architectural elements—rusticated stonework, a domed pavilion, and ornate street lamps—with a focus on texture, light, and depth. Feedback and thoughts are always welcome!

Here is my latest original artwork, titled "Palladio's Arch" (L'arc de Palladio).

This piece is a hand-drawn graphite study created as a direct tribute to Andrea Palladio, the influential Italian Renaissance architect.

I wanted to capture his iconic focus on symmetry, proportion, and classical harmony, contrasting the heavy, carved stone textures of the foreground archway with a precise geometric tiled plaza leading to the estate behind it.

Everything was drawn by hand using graphite pencils. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the depth, perspective, and relief textures!
