Back Alleys

My sketch, done with a Hero pen on S & B Beta paper...FUN line variation

And this is where I've stopped...

I really enjoy the almost universal feel of back alleys.  This is the back of an apartment building in my town.  I've sketched the front before, but I really love that back view, with balconies, staircases, potted plants, antennas...it could almost be anywhere!

I wanted to keep it simple, so stopped before I killed the sparkle or got it all muddy...
