The Neighborhood Workshop

Hello everyone, I created this project because I really love this type of architecture. This building isn't from my hometown, but I really appreciate how it combines the charm of a small city market with the industrial feel of workshop. Image from the instagram account of yosshytown.

For this image, I used black ink pens ranging from 0.1 mm to 0.7 mm. For the colors, I used watercolor (I’m not yet very skilled with painting and brushes, but I really enjoy working with these tools). The sketchbook I draw in, as well as the paint, come from the local market. They’re not of the best quality, but they do the job perfectly for what I’m creating at the moment.

For this piece, I was heavily inspired by the teachings of Albert Kiefer (housesketcher on Instagram), Tomas Pajdlhauser (captain_tom on Instagram) drawing and painting and Alicia Aradilla (a.aradilla on Instagram) for the painting. I experimented with a trial-and-error approach for the coloring, but I really love the result!
