Hi,

I've been getting a lot of motivation from here lately!
So I hope for the best..

@Heliux thanks man

@rafa thanks for stopping by man, I will do my best

Damn, this took me waaaaay too long to finish, didn't have time for anything else :(

Great job with the perspective drawing! You should pick up Scottt Robertson's book How to Draw if you havnt already. Its everything you'll ever need for learning perspective.

@Hypnagogic_Haze Thank you! I'll try to pick that up ASAP, just saving money atm.. ^^

Well, I wanted to finish this yesterday, but the structure and proportions gave me a hard time, but then I remembered that It didn't had to be like the reference..
In the end I rushed to draw the details.. it has a lot of error, since I didnt construct any of the windows and stuff.
But in the end, it was worth it. I learned a lot :)

Yessssssss dat perspective study!!

Isra's class is great. Go ahead and post it in the thread. It's all about getting people to look at your work :)

Focusing on your foreshortening is probably and important thing to keep in mind. Himeji castle probably isnt as long on each side as you made it. Asian architecture does focus a lot of the horizontal, making the buildings feel like they are much lower and longer than they are, but I think this is just a trick and it is not quite as sever as you have done it here :P (Just spent some time studying asian architecture lol)
Keep up the good work though. Look forward to seeing more!
