buildings

Hustle and bustle outside one of Stoke Newington's finest cafes

This is a drawing of a photo I took, showing my house and a neighboring building.

This art is linked to my previous work. The protogonist has entered the other side of the world. A weird place but it seems familiar as this world is nothing but his consciousness and diary is just a portal which let him in here

Ink and watercolour of my favourite subject, buildings.

Sometime last year when I went to my village after a while, some of the buildings I saw were now modern, they no more use mud bricks to build. What I saw was like the mud houses are giving way for the sky scrapers.

In a parallel world, not unlike our own, we find ourselves floating above a densely woven city of colorful roads, buildings, and parks.

#Swollen is the word for #inktober #day17. Because the city I live in is swollen from cars, buildings, humans, rats, pigeons, dirt and trash I considered the word to be proper for the problem of urbanization. Even if it's a natural transformation, it comes with a lot of issues. I see it as a concrete and steel monster eating the nature that stands in its way. © Maria!Bălan, 2018

Love the part where you get the feeling of being a part of something which is bigger than yourself.

Scratchboard piece I did as a project in university. It was a lot of fun!

Sketching with graphite pencil, waterproof drawing pen and Faber-Castle colour pencil.

I don't know why, but I had to make yellow buildings. I wish I had more time on this, but I took it as far as I could and hit submit with 1 to 2 minutes to spare. Why do I do that to myself? Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

'Oh how wonderful life would be, if I had my own little house in a tree!' This one was created for the Urban Explorer Challenge and I loved every minute of it! As a lover of the natural environment I had to draw on where my heart lies so a treehouse seemed a fitting response!

Ecco pigment fibre-tip pen and watercolors on A5.

Thought I would have a go at a competition! It has encouraged me to diversify within one image and think outside the box. I'll see how it goes!

This is a doodle of a number of old buildings in my city Zwolle. This was my view from my old studio.

Pen and ink

Actually, I work in one of these buildings

I've started a new sketch book (one of many, lol), which I am dedicating to ink drawings only. No pencils, no watercolours, just pen and ink :) I drew this doodle today with a Uniball pen and a light ink wash for the space sky. No reference, totally made up. Mistakes and all! Available as stickers and other goodies on Red Bubble. Sketchbook is Stillman and Birn Alpha - I love, love, love the whiteness of its pages!

This doodle depicts a transitional phase in my college years. Illustrating one of my favourite rappers, drinks, snacks and one of the iconic buildings in London; this doodle is full of colours varying in throughout the page and popping out with contrast.
