The Village Eldest Palace ( or town eldest palace ; with their accustomed 3D packing of old-style towns fennekim have slightly different measures of what qualifies as village or town ) of the fennekim part of a Sultanates fortress-town.
The artwork is fully my own. Using the models I have, I thought I try to sketch them.
I took a pencil into my hands the first time in, like, ages, and bit myself for an hour through explicitely NOT using a ruler.
I'm still astonished the paper didn't fold up and ran screaming.
Accordingly, tomorrow I'll use the aquarell-pencils and give the picture a base coloring. Or would the shading come before the coloring?
Any advice?

This is very good for just picking up a pencil for the first time in ages! 0.0
As for advice, I'm not really well acquainted with traditional mediums, but I find shading before hand makes it messier and doesn't go over as well, if you do it with pencil. Coloring first, and then laying shadows down with darker colors, etc, usually is the easiest. But this is just based off my own experiences with colored pencils and the like, and I'm not exactly an expert in the field. ^^;
My experience mostly lays in the digital aspect of art. XD lol

Well, one of the tricks I remember from my psychology lectures is to do the draft / initial sketch of a scenery or person by holding the pencil that way that not the fingers or the wrist move the pencil, but the whole arm does.
I.e. trapping the pencil between the fingers, not actively holding it.
The reason for that being that the motoric finecontrol of the fingers and wrist are done by the logical hemisphere of the brain, whilst the motric control of the arm is in the other half of the brain where the artistic / creative actions take place.

It is also a issue of training.
Once one has learned how to achieve what, how to move , what proportions to sketch to get things right, this "cheating" isn't needed anymore.
Like a Break-Dancer can move is limbs in a seemingly reverse motion compared to his actual direction of movement. "Moonwalk", moving backward whilst the movements of the legs imply a forward movement ; Achieved by putting all weight on the foot in the position assumed for "bringing forward for the next step" instead of putting all weight on the foot standing seemingly fully.
But for a total noob like me it's a swift way to get drafts to paper that are not totally disproportioned.
There'll be a second picture uploaded of a street scene, an amazones or humans view of a fennekim's city-quarter.
That one was first drafted using the "full arm" method, and then refined and corrected using a ruler and "point of view / of flight" to aling the angles mostly correctly.
The "Full Arm" ( I think the professional term was "kinaestethic method" ) method however sucks at straight lines - again, unless trained.
But mixing both techniques ( the trees are still arm-based ) seems to be working good.
