At first I wasn't sure which image to use. Then I decided on Belgrade.

@jenskmeier Hello Jens
First of all, thank you very much for your compliment!
What should I tell you about that? I would like to show you the first picture I drew after about 20 years of abstinence from analogue work. But I'm too ashamed...
It sure is a development that comes with practice. Here are some tips:
Don't be afraid of potential mistakes! There is no "wrong" line. Ultimately it is my work and not a copy of reality.
Less is more! I always have to have the courage to face emptiness. Emptiness does not mean nothing, but offers the viewer space for their own interpretations. So just stop drawing, put the picture away for a moment and take it out again later. Sometimes that works wonders. Suddenly you realize that a picture is actually already finished.
From weak to strong! For me, this already starts with sketching with fineliner. Always use the thinnest pen first, then - especially for the objects in the foreground - switch to the wider pen. For me, the same applies to watercolors. Start with light, light tones and slowly work your way up to the deeper colors. This also applies to markers.
I hope my tips can be of some help to you.
Ah, and one more thing: Feel free to copy pictures that you particularly like! This helped me enormously. Over time you will automatically develop your own style.
I'm looking forward to your further work.
Greetings Hanspeter
