Another view of the Athens Polytechnic, looking north

I did another drawing, this time in pen. It's 12" x 9", done with a Sailor fude-nib pen, and Noodler's Lexington Grey ink, in a Stillman & Birn Gamma series sketchbook.

Here's a close-up. As I wrote on Instagram yesterday, I'm tempted to add color to this drawing, but think I'll resist. I've got a good start on a suite of drawings of Athens and Greece in this style, and feel like I'm gradually getting better at capturing the feeling of a visually complicated cityscape. The perspective and scale are relatively accurate, without being "architectural drawings" - which is what I'm aiming for: a fairly loose, artistic sketch. There are good reasons to keep these as a group, and frankly we seldom see monochromatic drawings these days, so that's a good reason to do them. But maybe I'll also do some color ones separately. Any comments/preferences?
