Day five: two point perspective cityscape

 Today I added a silver spider web to the antiques shop and colored the door by blending beige, light orange and darker brown. I also ombré'd the blue building and a checkered board apartment complex. 

Day four: two point perspective cityscape

I stayed in for CORE and worked on coloring my stucco building, which I scumbled, blended, and stipled to give it the peely, crackly plaster effect. I also did a wooden texture in my pink building's door. 

Day three: two point perspective cityscape

I changed the lamp style and added some more details. I began coloring my self storage unit on the far left. Using my first texture; smooth and metallic 

Day two: 2 point perspective cityscape

I begin by drawing my eight buildings-all varying height- and I figured I'd add some sidewalk and a light pole and an awning 

Day one: 2 point perspective city scape

Before I did any work at all, I started with my huge paper 18x12" I think it was 120 pound? 
We start with our middle point from our vanishing points to our middle line, where the block turns.
