Description
So I decided to sit down and study some darn perspective and light
I reffed from a photo I took of a Skytrain station in Vancouver. It wasn't good enough as a photo, but it darn good enough to become a painting.
I first painted it in black and white and then I filtered color over it, I'm lazy xD
There is a lot of mistakes but oh well I am happy with it
it took about 4 hours or so. crits are welcomed ^^

Looks vectorized from a distance. Feels like it should be part of a banner which isn't a problem.

good jobb! the only thing i have to say is you can use a white airbrush or dodge tool to lighten up the areas furthur back to give it more atmospheric depth. Love the clean cut shapes of the supports btw

Awesome job in creating depth to this, and I really like the blockyness of it!

This is amazing. I really like how the train track leads the eyes into the distance. Also, the texture looks great. I think the texture adds weight and mood to the station which make the scene believable.

Can you guess which station this one is? xD

I dunno I live in North Van now haha. I think it's Metrotown or something of that kind though. Something in East Van/burnaby.

You are pretty much correct! It is the station right before metrotown. Here is a cookie
