Yesterday I was walking near The Church of St. Paul (Kirche) in Odessa. Fire in 1976 almost completely destroyed the church. Since 2008 till 2010 the church was restored and in the 17th of April 2010 it was reopened. I love this place with its beautiful architecture very much. Here some photos:
Before:


And this is how it looks like novadays:



Photos were made by me :^)

Finally I finished this art. This is a present for a friend, I hope she'll like it. Media: koh-i-noor H and B pencils, A3 watercolor paper, gray tones in dry Chinese Ink and sepia-like tones in black Indian tea, white gouache. Texture in Photoshop CS.

Still work in progress.

Keep working with this art on watercolor paper.

Still in progress...

Spring is coming ♥
I think I'm starting to understand how to work with tones in manga XD
