I'm tryna learn perspective and drawing and all that. Got inspired by a Ramadan celebration in Gaza that someone posted about here a few days ago. What do you reckon?

    i can't remember what this kind of perspective study is called. like 2 point horizon? this is great. mine always came out feeling sterile and boxy to me, like not enough articulation to the structures. your feels like a place that is currently still, but where people actually do live. i really like the hanging lanterns and curios and the realistic slack to the lines. i also like the purple rug on the green building.

    the value in these exercises is incredible, imo. i got more into painting later in life and found myself going back to these tricks and some videos i watched about color "value" to suggest depth. i really like art like this, because it turns flat surfaces into windows that suggest other worlds.

    i see myself living in the peach colored building, on the second floor veranda. enjoying the shade and the setback while judging passersby.
