Old Port Pencil
Busy today. Here's a sketch from earlier this summer. Making it miniature, until I figure out how not to make it run into the edges.

Nice, me I find it so hard to draw outdoor scene.
p.s.: your blog is in my list now :)
That's so nice. I'd give advice, but I run screaming from most advice (artists have to make their own mistakes, or at least artists like me).
I guess I'd try to get lots of details right, and have contrasts of dark and light. Outside of that, draw, draw, draw a lot, and you'll get an eye for it.
