Colored pencils are excellent for the fine architectural details and textures of the timber frames and cobblestones. Fine-tip markers or gel pens can highlight small market goods or decorative elements. For larger, simpler areas like awnings or distant buildings, brush markers provide smooth coverage.
Start by outlining major elements like shops and figures before filling in. Use lighter pressure for initial layers and gradually build intensity. Choose a simple color scheme (3-5 main colors) for clarity. Tackle one building or stall at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Employ cross-hatching to add texture to wooden beams and cobblestones. Use atmospheric perspective on background buildings, making them slightly lighter and less detailed. Experiment with shadow layering to create depth under awnings and around figures. Consider stippling for fabric textures.
