Wow jesuel....ALL those little details...you certainly didn't choose an easy topic to do a study of did you!!

Your shading work is just gorgeous. I especially like the high window in the background and how well you've shown it bringing light into the cathedral. The statuary in the little alcoves and the railings grab my attention as well. It's a wonderful perspective w/ everything drawn to the correct proportions.

Lovely cathedral....a ton of intricate little nooks and crannies so well done. Can't wait to see your 'refined' piece if this is any indication of what it will look like.

James,
A beautifully sketched interior of a Gothic style church with the High Altar in the centre. Created with very skilful draftsmanship, & shading to give a three dimensional image showing great detail.

Your shading is very attractive and in combination with your highlights it produces nice depth. I like the varying line weights you have used. I get a good sense of the shapes, height and space of the layout.

Well done and intricate sketch. You have a lot going on here and there is a lot to see. The only thing I am bothered by is the left side of the church. It doesn't seem to be straight and in alignment with the rest of the sketch. Maybe this was intentional?

Excellent sketch of this magnificent structure. I love all the detail you've drawn in this although I realise it's not the finished piece. Very good light and shading. It must have taken quite a while to achieve this lovely sketch. Excellent composition. Suzanne

This is a nice pencil sketch. The drawing with the shading is really nice. The ceiling looks so high. So many details like the altar and the walls. I enjoyed this picture.
