A few evening sketches for practice for the past few weeks. This are the good ones, haha. Learning is perfect for coping with the fact that you may not know a little more than you expected.

Full line of the upcoming town map. Key thing in this stage is to control the level of details. You don't want to render every little thing - surprisingly, the full image won't look detailed at all this way.

Usually I do a rough sketch/layout, make quick 3D blocking sketch, paint over it to show locations and points of interest + colors, and then repaint over it with clean line and colors.

Yeah, it depends on the goal. Sometimes I need to do more readable city, so I lose some shadows to make it detailed and more bright and colorful too.
