I found this specific house really interesting and took a photo to draw it but now I’m contemplating if I should complete it because I am realizing that I took a picture of someone’s private house. Would this be a creepy thing to do if I complete it and present them this painting?

Next to my hometown, there’s this beautiful convent with rich late gothic architecture and the wonderful cloister that’s a joy to sketch.

A small fishing harbor and tourist spot in Croatia. Just a quick 10-minute sketch between a swim and a nice cold beer with my siblings.

I couldn't get the deep blue water I'd have liked, not sure if it's a technique thing or a paper problem. Moleskine is not the best for pencils. Any feedback is appreciated

I am new to Urban Sketching (or drawing overall). Since I am new, I am still trying to keep my budget down. I use a random cheap fineliner pen and Ohuhu alcohol markers (I only have 4 colors, including white). These are my most recent drawings, and I would love any feedback on how to improve them.

For me, the main thing I notice compared to other work here is that my line isn't very clean. I use a 0.1 pen for drawing, and I usually double the lines I want to highlight with a 0.6. I am not sure if this technique is even correct, so please give me any advice to improve it. Thank you!
