| I have most of the foreground and mid-ground buildings in place. |

| Had to find some images as reference for boys playing soccer, and then create some decent sketches. It is quite a complicated drawing, getting all the figures, buildings and background put together in a plausible manner. I did the boys on a separate sheet, then cut them out to see where to place them. Then I traced them onto the main drawing. |

| I don't think I have ever spent so much time preparing for a watercolor, but I know I need a GOOD drawing first. I have a bit more to do on the shop-fronts and the lower street level, then I CAN START PAINTING!!! Thank you for dropping by! Your comments are welcome. |
Pretty impressive! I like the use of different elements placed together.Buildings still scare me because I am not good at perspectives and lines.You did a great job with the drawing..would wait to see how it goes from here!
