A halcyon scene produced with a flair of tonal values. I like the muted background. A lot of careful consideration to detail. Good work.

Super drawing Alice, as CA has said I like the contrast between the strong for ground tones and the paler background, gives a great feeling of depth.

I love the history in West Cornwall's streets and towns. This view down Church Street, Helston, Cornwall, inspired me with it's atmosphere, architecture and light and shadows. I had been trying out lots of different types of media when I stumbled upon using maker pens in shades of grey with a black fine line pen outline.
