        How I love drawing buildings that are tumbling or in disrepair! I used a dip pen and sepia WN ink on Daler Rowney “aquafine” paper finished with a light watercolor wash. This paper will buckle with more than a lightish wash.
        8.3X11.7”
        This was about the 1-3/4 hour mark. I may piddle a little more.

        The brown blob floating in the sky is where my hand inadvertently picked up ink and moved it! Argh! I was nearly done, too.

                    Well done. Love the irregular rocks and the jagged edges at the top.

                        Nice one! I think I would turn the blob into a bird…

                            Very nice. I think you should make the blob a bird. :)

                            It almost looks on fire! I like it:)

                                    This is great! I love the detail you have put into the stonework. I like the way you have drawn the foreground too. I agree with the suggestion of turning the ink blob into a bird, there were a lot of crows around and inside the castle when I went there so it would fit right in! :)

                                        Haha. OK we will save the painting — a bird it is! I do like to always have a bird in my paintings, after all.

                                            This is awesome! Love the fire and the crumbling castle. you could always continue the brown blur with some brown wash applied with a sponge to do some clouds or smoke coming out of the castle… or birds, it’d work as a basis for a bird. But it wasn’t distracting. I didn’t notice till I read the mention and looked back to find it.

                                            I do that too sometimes, it gets frustrating.

                                                I like your building and the foreground. I love birds flying in a picture and I am like Robert I did not see it until I read what you wrote, Like Bob Ross would say, just a happy little mistake. Make a bird. LOL

                                                    Nice sketch. Good stone Twitter in the castle. The blob gives it authenticity. I have done a lot pf blob and smear drawings in ink!

                                                    Make a blob into a bird shape. This is wonderful, Logan!

                                                        Love it, especially all the work on the stone blocks. Beautiful.
