(i apologize for any formatting issues, im on mobile)

the finished drawing of the photo described below, with slightly more dramatic perspective and harsh, black and white shadows. details that were lost were redrawn with a white gel pen, and pale clouds were scribbled in the background

this took a few weeks of drawing on and off to finally finish, since the paper is i believe about 3 x 2 feet

halfway complete shading, done only in black and white. the light source is above and slightly behind the building
lineart of the drawing, with corrected perspective and intricate detailing
a sketch of the photo, though the perspective is skewed, especially on the pillars

i used a mechanical pencil for the sketch, which might have been the most time consuming part. in the sketch i messed up the perspective and proportion while trying to make it more dynamic, which i had to fix when i did the lineart (with tombow ink pens).

i did the shading in only a couple hours using greyscale alcohol markers. i didn't use the reference image for the shadows, because i wanted to be particular about the lighting

an image of the Canterbury Cathedral, a large, ornate building made of almost golden stone with large spires and intricate windows. the base is inlaid with many statues

the final piece is still a slightly different angle than the original photo (of the Canterbury Cathedral, found on Britannica), and while it was on purpose, i still need more practice with the execution
