Hi All,

Kind regards

Darren, these are great...your style is quiet, pleasing, and quite powerful! I like the "final one" the best since the shaded wall adds a good measure of interest and a bit of drama (plus the tree shadow adds so much).

Love to see this one with the bike guy replacing the slightly distorted auto on the right...might "slow down" the road to "pedestrian" make it less of a barrier to be crossed.

Hi All,

tomsdesk glad you like them

Here are the latest versions of this project, i have added some sketchy lines to the face of the properties and also to the roof.

Kind regards

Darren

Hi Darren, glad to see you are posting on here now since the death of the old SU forums . I'm not really much of a fan of water colours either digital or manually painted tbh and there are far more qualified opinions in this area here than mine but my £0.02 worth would be to try outputing without using the tiled SU grass and build it up manually in PS perhaps with the addition of some grass blades/weed at the intersection of the stone wall. At the moment its just too 'clean' and needs a bit of saturation variation in the tones for me to feel as though it is a watercolour.
