Begin with the broad architectural elements like buildings and roads, laying down base colors before adding intricate details. For the varied brickwork and cobblestone paths, consider using subtle variations in hue and pressure to create texture and depth. Emphasize light and shadow to make the historical structures pop.
Fine-tipped colored pencils are excellent for intricate architectural details, such as windows, railings, and signage. Broader tip markers or watercolors can be used for larger areas like skies, rivers, and building facades to achieve smooth, even washes.
Create depth in brick walls by shading the lower edges of individual bricks and corners of buildings for a realistic effect. For reflective surfaces like water and wet streets, use gentle gradients and leave some areas lighter to suggest glints of light and movement. Apply subtle shadows under eaves and awnings.
This collection offers a rich variety, from simpler urban silhouettes to highly detailed architectural facades and bustling street scenes. It's best suited for intermediate to advanced colorists and those who appreciate intricate urban landscapes and historical details.
