Description -Street of a pre-war colony for office workers, [ Kolonia Lubeckiego ] Warsaw.

A more proper artwork to end the recent period of zero activity on my turn, drawn as a challenge suggested by



I don't think I have ever drawn or painted a proper night scenery before and obviously colouring the sheet black in order to make a 'cosmic void' doesn't count - which also meant that I had to go for a trip and hunt down reference setting. 

Of a number of photographs I took, one has been taken while car was taking a turn.  Incidentally, that photo was also the most interesting - even though it required heavy digital fixes afterwards. The effect of a frozen movement seemed like an interesting challenge to paint, after all.

That turned out very well.

Thanks! But it is just an excercise that needs those few more steps.

I like it!  I really like the blurred car, I actually could tell what that was from a distance.

Yeah...just black with the sky is a beginner mistake, but ya gotta fall a few times in learning to walk.

Try mixing a darker blue and some purple together, it makes for more interesting night colors, hell even red would be nice.  Experiment on a scrap paper and you'll find a mix you'll be happy with.

For a moment I thought about making it even more black with the help of a regular marker, but even then it felt like a questionable idea. 

I think I'll go for a late dusk and work my way up from that to have some idea what colours should I experiment with. Especially given that I neglected drawing that part of the day as well.

That'll lead to some great visuals!  Here's a great example of less is more in this batman fan drawing:

Dobra robota wyszło prawie jak zdjęcie z tym rozmytym autem i jego światłami.

Dopiero na przypadkowym, przyspieszonym kursie fotografii zorientowałem się, że smugi świetlne to też tworzywo z którym można pracować.  

W innym wypadku bym prawdopodobnie nawet nie próbował.
