hahaha Yeah, I know what you mean. I was in an art program in High School and I really liked it, we used a lot of different materials. For some reason, I like the numbers 5 and 8 but I'm not sure how often they sneak into my artwork... I remember adding 5 in certain instances... 8-5=3 haha, sorry, just being silly now.

You no longer do traditional art?

Well it's been about a year since I painted, which used to be my favorite medium, I guess after painting so much in school with such strict deadlines, it kinda hurt my will to paint

Well, drawing is traditional, regardless of your style.
Sometimes I feel that without assignments, I don't force myself to draw as much. I sometimes miss school for that...

I definitely have that problem too, I've been thinking about taking some art classes at the local university to fix that

Awesome drawing! I like the oddity of the lamp posts being in the middle of the sidewalk

It gives it an almost surreal look ^_^

Wow, this looks so realistic--like it belongs in a 18th century English novel
I especially like the drab gray colors, it really does remind me of English weather. And the background and shading are perfect--simple, but they bring out the main pieces--the lampposts.

I love the texture of the paper, and how it absorbed the ink wash. Sometimes it bleeds too much, but it looked like yours worked out fine. The accuracy and attention to detail is also well defined, as is the perspective. Good job overall.

Thank you! Paper this heavy is always enjoyable albeit expensive to work with

You're welcome. Yeah, the expensive stuff is expensive for a reason.

I like it; perspective is a bit wonky but it's a nice mood!

hahah they are like ghost lamps, and a sidewalk, doomed to float forever in space with no background

third lamp is a midget one, even for the perspective, but still it is great
