Detailed Sketch

Below are my comments on specific details.

The actual size of this sketch is not much larger than the image on the left. (Most of the others on these pages are huge.) I was amazed and happy with how this turned out, with just a few minutes of a twist of a brush pen.

The water works because even though there was a consistent flow on the real fountain, by only drawing in some of it, it looks more natural here. Notice the drips are not connected, and there is a lot of splashback up from each level.

I only drew in the left side of the shapes, since those were in shadow. Keeping a lot of spaces by not connecting every line perfectly keeps the drawing really fresh and gives the water its motion.
