I've decided to start doing daily art fundamentals practices and studies for now as I have a lot left to improve. I'll continue drawing dragons once my ink pens that I ordered arrive. :) Initially I was looking for some gem references, but I accidentally came across the station photo on Pixabay and it blew me away so I decided to paint it instead.
This study took me around 1h to do.You can check out my reference at the end of the post.
The process:
I started with a perspective grid that I made long ago. I've seen other artists use this method and it's great. You can download my perspective grid here: https://sta.sh/0qu924ntu41 You can transform the grid freely. If you do 2 point perspective, make sure to align the horizon line.
This was a quick study so I didn't use any perspective tools and methods here as this was more of a warmup. By methods for example, I mean making sure that the pillars are evenly aligned in perspective. I have to revisit Scott Robertson's perspective tutorials, as I forgot most methods :)

Sugestions for interesting, unique themes are welcome! Or you may share an image you'd like me to paint (it has to be CC0). If I pick your theme to draw, you win 0.1SBD ^^
Thank you for checking out! <3
