I did this for a midterm project back in 2014. I wanted to draw the same place during three different times of the day as practice for lighting, mood, and consistency. I drew a sketch of the scene, which I then traced onto three different sheets of paper.

For the subject, I wanted to draw the house in which my character Rhodes grew up. He lived on the dusty outskirts in a small town in the middle of a desert. His mom is an artist who makes giant sculptures out of scrap metal, and her yard is full of her odd work.

Ah, yes, the night scene! I've always loved doing night scenes because I can play around with lighting and shadow.

I used marker, white gel pen, and India ink for this. I also used quite a bit of acrylic for the sky.
