Aesthetic Experimentation 3

Since I am going to set my animation in Paris, I looked at images that I could use as inspiration. I know that the city has beautiful architecture, however this could be quite difficult for me to draw. I used this image because I like the lighting.

I began by tracing around the image using lots of straight lines. I tried my best to simplify it, using the advice I took from 'The Art of Princess and the Frog' (see post: Reading: The Art of Princess and the Frog).

Here is the final result of drawing out the image. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be, however it was quite time consuming.

The next step was the colour the image. I tried using the eyedropper tool to select colours from the original image. However I didn't like the way it was turning out. I decided not to continue colouring the image, as I thought it might be better to try again with creating my own colour palette on another picture.
