Train Sketch - The Rhine

Description

I've been told that I should practice from real life instead of photographs. And I agree that that's probably a good idea. So I drew this while sitting in a train somewhere between Koblenz and Mainz. I've tried to do a quick impression of the hills of the Rhine river valley. Considering that this was done on a notebook with a Volito 2 tablet while sitting on a moving and shaking train, I'd say it's not half bad.

Time: ca. 15 minutes

This looks really good! And considering you were on a shaking train, even better!

Wow.

It took you only fifteen minutes, but it's so detailed. The way all the strokes blend and overlap gives you the idea of motion...:+fav:

It's amazing representations of the little things in a foreign country like this that make me want to visit (well, The Rhine is like 820 miles long, so it's not little per se, but your painting gives me a little window into Germany).

Alas, I'm 14 - and being 14, I doubt my parents would let me go overseas alone.

But, I am definitely going to Germany before I die. Your painting makes me want to go to Europe :flageu: even more (I couldn't find a German flag emoticon).
