This serene alleyway offers a wonderful opportunity to explore shading and texture. Let your creativity illuminate this quiet urban landscape and enjoy the process of bringing it to life!
Colored pencils are excellent for the detailed brickwork and textures of the alleyway, allowing for fine shading. Fine-tip markers or gel pens can be used for crisp lines on lanterns or small architectural details. For larger, smoother areas, brush markers can provide even coverage.
Start by coloring the largest areas like the brick walls first using light pressure. Gradually build up color intensity. Focus on staying within the lines of the bricks and flagstones. Choose a simple, harmonious color scheme for an easy start.
Create a sense of depth by darkening colors in receding areas of the alley. Use cross-hatching or stippling for realistic brick texture. Apply layering to create a soft, luminous glow around the lanterns. Experiment with cast shadows from lanterns and wall projections.
