i loved how you broke up the shapes of the other smaller buildings. I tried it and it worked for my sketch! I'm hoping i can do it again with more practice. Talking about the perspective lines and what to leave out was super helpful . Thanks!

Lovely scene with minimal color and nice simplification.

Up to today, I would avoid such scenes. You make the steps so easy. I may watch a few times before the actual try, but you give that needed confidence and avoid too much detail.
