My first cityscape I think was kind of sloppy my lines and colors could have used some work but other than that I think that it was great. For the first time though I think I did good. I had some extra time so I added the Mickey Mouse on one of the buildings.
This was pretty successful but it could have been better but I think the lines could use some work but other than that it came out successful.

A technique where little tiny dots are used to make art. I used something similar to pointillism in my project.
