    May I ask how you're doing the buildings? Are you using a vector program?

    Hi Soixante,

    I wouldn't know a vector program if you hit me with it! lol ... so I'm just drawing the lines by hand then filling in with a base grey.

    Slow Going but making some progress

    I tend to keep myself engaged by switching between doing the outlines, fills and shading and detailed buildings.

    Probably not the most efficient way of working but taking a break from the more monotonous paint, shade and highlight to do a quirky little building every now and again helps keep me sane! lol

    I'll aim to finish the remaining 'grey' buildings then go back over and add in some more ground structures like bridges and details like chimneys and the like.

    When all the buildings are done (some time in 2020 at this rate ) I'll aim to come back and add dirt and tracks on the 'roads' and a few dots of weeds and such...

    progress continues...

    Still surprising me at how long it actually takes to do the draw, then colour, then shade, then highlight - I reckon I probably do about a pizza 8th of the area you see in a week.

    I suppose speed isn't helped by the fact I can easily spend all night mucking about with one or two buildings..

    But every now and again I look back over a larger area and think - yep - looks ok to me..

    so I use this to try to offset the woe of 'grey to do' (not to mention the city larger still to even touch!!)

    I'll say! Only two words come to mind when I look at this: utterly stunning!!

    I like the large square with purple buildings in the south. In fact, overall, the balance of 'special buildings/landmarks' to regular buildings is done very well.
