    Default Cafés along the Yarra River in Melbourne

    "Urban" sketch I did of the small river-side cafés, looking down from the esplanade near Federation Square in Melbourne. This isn't my usual style, so was a bit of a challenge. I had fun with it though, and will try doing more.
    Done using Sakura Pigma 005 and Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils.

    It looks very much like turn-of-the-century paintings made for the European market by the Japanese. I like those a lot, and I like this a lot.

    Looks wonderful!
    I've tried drawing anything recognizable, but usually end up with an abstract thing of doodles that everyone seems to think that I planned it that way!

    Thanks CO. I'm enjoying trying new ways to sketch and draw. I'm hopeless at Zentangles though; I wish I had your ability cos you make it look so easy, and it definitely isn't!

    Thank you!
    Abstract is good. There's no law that says a drawing needs to resemble anything recognisable ☺️ And anyway, as long as you enjoy the process, who cares what the end result looks like........
