At the moment there are lots of things I like about this drawing - and a few things I dislike. This bit of the drawing I simplified. I just didn't want a lot of distraction down the left hand side, but still needed something there to provide some visual interest and notion of scale, hence the car. I'll fiddle with the dark area above the car as I'm not happy with it, maybe needs some gradation and be softer at the upper part of it. I don't mind the receding nature of the perspective, gives a feeling of fog and surrealism. And yes there are some surreal elements to this drawing.
Update: After seeking a second opinion I've decided to leave this as is. I think it now looks OK when the whole composition is taken into account. And, yes the god damn thing is now finished........at last.

For the time being it’s a secret, though I suspect it will be revealed shortly. Stay tuned

We are our own worst critics. Well done!

I like the foggy surrealism of this drawing. It puts me in a dreamy mood and I feel as if I’m in another time and place.
