Goals with this practice:
1. Paint more traditionally without layers only changing color (hue/saturation/value), brush size and opacity.
2. Do urban painting of some kind (and I love the Japanese theme).
I use a photo I took about 4 years ago south of Fukuoka as reference.
===
My strategy:
1. Start with getting the biggest shapes and perspective lines right. DONE!
2. Give all the shapes a flat color so that the values become correct relative to each other.
3. Carefully go into smaller and smaller detail and always remember step 1 and 2 not to mess them up.

So much fun! Share your favorite urban paintings in the comments!

Looks very good! I think the details are actually all placed well. However, it all still feels a bit bright. Take a look at the photo again and see if there are any areas with darker shadows than you have here. That contrast is what makes things pop.

Thanks for the advice @tall73. I am starting to wonder how much of that is due to me being a novice and how much it is becasue the screen on the 3DS is not very color accurate.

Great job in the details too. It also helps to trick the eye/brain combo if you lightly darken the corners and brighten the center. Draws the eye to the center and your brain recalibrates what your seeing to "fill in the blanks" by psycoanalitically inserting details in the perepherials until you focus on that point, in which you see what was drawn...
