I like drawing old buildings. I enjoy all the brick and title. There’s something something calming about laying down those stones. Traditional buildings don’t have the sharp edges of modern constructions so I’m less concerned when my lines aren’t that straight.
Also dig bricks. Yoshitoshi Abe doesn’t use rulers in any of his works and does some very lovely buildings, and I love Tsutomu Nihei’s inks (also he’s a professional architect).
I love the organic sloops in the brick railings in the background. It looks almost like monstrous scales.
The Abe images I see online are pretty incredible. Even more so if he’s working without a straight edge. I’ll have to hunt up some of his comics.
Nihei does some pretty incredible environments.
Abe does these weird dieselpunk/art deco environments and designs, and I am a sucker for that. Bruce Timm and Paul Dini’s Gotham and Metropolis are two of my favorite animated cities ever.
