Sketches of the week

This is the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. While I was sketching I noticed none of the buildings are straight. They are all slightly crooked. Interesting right? I wouldn't noticed it if I wasn't drawing.

Because everything is crooked makes them a little hard to draw. Perspective kind of work here but the those buildings can confuse you.

I use shapes more than lines (personal preference) but sometime with complex patterns or decorations lines will be a better way to show those detail.

Here some process photos:

With organic subjects I find using shapes easier

this one didn't turn out so well but next drawing!

I haven't done color in a while. It's about time to go back to full palette.
