Art Over The Years
How the lines come to life — from the first mark to the final spray.
How it begins
I think it's pretty clear how art is made. But not all start with a sketch, some don't even start with an idea.
Yes, the realistic drawings or the ones that depict real buildings need a sketch or a reference image or even both because they require insane precision in detail to capture its charm.
But, some drawings begin with just a blank paper. No idea, no sketch, just drawing. The first line is drawn and then the second and soon my mind starts materializing ideas, I start seeing the drawing in front of me and draw subconsciously.
The drawing takes over, I feel like I could draw for hours.

The town drawings
I position the buildings and make windows. After doing that, I slowly start adding extreme detail to every part of the drawing. It always takes a lot of time, but art takes time, it's not a secret.
From blank paper to finished work

The final step
At the very end I spray all drawings with a graphite spray.
Every drawing — sealed and preserved
