There’s this cantina in Lisbon, at the top of Rua do Ferragial , belonging to the church, that has awesome food on a budget and we get to have a coffee at the terrace outside with this stunning view!

I think back at all my trips and am so grateful to have found lsd when I needed it. No more meth no more alcohol just vibes.

It's a book shop, cafe and wine bar.

When I was a kid, my dad used to sketch buildings a lot (him being an architect). As a little boy I never understood the appeal, me who just wanted to draw cool superheroes, ninjas and robots. Now as a grown young adult, maybe I’m starting to understand. Slowly but surely. Thanks for being the reason I even picked up a pencil to draw in the first place pops ❤️

A month ago I was at prompt care and sketched out my room. I posted it to a couple subreddits for drawing, and you guys were the only community that gave it any kind of notice or attention. Since then I have been absolutely enamored with not just the works of art I see posted here, but the community around it. So supportive, fun, and welcoming. For the last month I have been studying and looking for inspiration everywhere I go, breaking down real life into perspective lines and shapes.

This page is just a page of practice sketches but I wanted it share the start of what I hope will be a long, fulfilling experience.

A sketch from yesterday sketchwalk. This big tree caught my attention among those dense residential developments.

This sketch is based on a photo I took while walking around Nizhny Novgorod.

First time poster, just wanted to share :) 1.5h micron pen.

Reference photos for the sketch were taken from Zillow webpage by typing each address.

Aquarelle & gouache sur papier Arches.

I’ve no idea where this is, it’s from a photo I found on Google.

I really struggled with the water .. I’m going to have to practice it a lot.

Which underdrawing do you usually prefer before adding watercolor?

Pencil, water-soluble ink, or waterproof ink?

Or do you skip the underdrawing altogether and paint the colors first, then add pencil or ink once the paint has dried?

I'm curious to know how you all do it!

I painted these today after doing some live sketching of the guys down town yesterday.
