#30×30 2026 : Some Urban Sketching Sillyness

I went out for one of my warmup-runs, and it was completely overcast and muggy. I waited around all day on Sherbrooke street for the sun to come out, but no luck. In the meantime I did these little cartoon houses to pass the time. They’re about 3 inches tall.

Sillyness!

Just one example of ‘real life’.

Tried to do one good one but was a flop. Some nice color but I really messed up the building itself – so I’ll only show you the roof ;) This tower is of course the cool part.

The moral of the story is – I can’t draw architecture if there’s no shadows out.

If you’re going to set yourself a task like daily painting, you cant just bull ahead and do what you planned, even if the situation (in this case the weather) isn’t right.

Ok! Another day down tho.

But I’m only counting this as ‘one’ panting today :)
