This month's theme is Architecture (interior and exterior)!
To be honestly with you I've mostly forgotten everything I learned about architecture in college, so feel free to PYF structure.
Cool blogs:
Arkitekcher
Architecture of Doom
Sketchbook City
Drawing Architecture

And don't forget Architectural failures - "nah, it'll hold."

Hundertwasserhaus has always been a favourite of mine:


Also, Kowloon walled city for some real life cyberpunk anti-architecture:


And some theory: This Place is not a Place of Honour discusses using architecture to make a nuclear waste storage facility forbidding and uninviting to future cultures who may not share our languages or culture.

Actually, this pic specifically is from a Japanese arcade that took a warehouse and built a replica Kowloon inside it as a facade for the arcade proper.

Bon Poisson d'Avril!

In France on April Fools' Day, the French would tape paper fish to the backs of their victims as a prank. When they discover the fish, the prankster would exclaim, "Poisson d'Avril!" or "April Fish!" Just thought you'd like to know!

What media are you doing that in? It looks similar to (though far better than) my stuff with conte on kraft paper

Szmitten - wow, thanks for that. Now recreate that place inside an abandoned bunker, and I have my perfect home.

It's Prisma Col-Erase pencil on Kona Classic toned paper, with a white colored pencil for the highlights. I love this paper, it's perfect for colored pencils, and every color pops on it.

In Finnish, when you've successfully pranked someone on April Fools', you'd chant (loosely translated) "aprilled, aprilled, eat herring, drink muddy water!" I wonder how many countries have fish in their April pranks?
I love how your goldfish seems to glow btw.


So for the longest time I thought that the pic I used as ref here (taken on our holiday) was taken at Scarlet Monastery.



I was kindly informed that the place is actually called The Abbey.
The Scarlet Monastery is a WoW raid. :doh:

I think this is the largest drawing I've colored yet, sorry about the glare, its 14x17 and I can't fit it in my scanner. My coworker named it Rocky Road To Hell.

Edit: Fuuuuck it's not finished :emo:

Wish I had something to post, but I've been slacking in regards to personal projects.

The article about making nuclear waste facilities uninviting is awesome.

Haven't done a lot lately...family drama. So I only have this rabbit eye to offer. I needed a new avatar for some sites.

Should redraw the head outline 2 or 3 times and have it flicker between them so nothing's static imo

Did a self-portrait. I was going to keep with the thread and draw the neon outline of the Phoenix Trotting Track in the background since it's my favorite building ever, got a headache instead. Might have been staring at a tablet full of bright colors that gave me the headache, whoops.

I love that hairdo :allears: and I hope your family drama has settled down.



People in the UK could not understand my fascination with back alleys. We don't get weird little dark alleys growing moss and full of secret doors that no-one uses.

There's also chickens 'cause argh blargh buildings are a pain to draw on their own.
