    Wip A new town

    After another few years of absence, i finally got myself to start a new town drawing - this time it's a product of pure fantasy, though the style of the buildings is an existing one (which is hard to avoid and usually not too desirable to do so imo). The place is located on a hill above a river mouth, it will consist of a very dense, rich and fortified upper town on that mentioned hill, and a large lower town that gradually gets simpler the more downhill and the more close to the river it gets (may have some exceptions to that general rule later).

    Since the outlines of the whole drawing that i made for the general planning are very thin and hardly visible, i will for now only show the small part of the upper town that i have begun. The scale is quite tiny, and the whole is drawn on an A2 paper.

    Nice! I always appreciate well drawn buildings.

    This is going to be good one. I look forward to seeing it progress.

    One thing I did note, it seems everything is leaning to the right. It catch your eye quite easily. I'm not sure if it is the photo being skew or what. But, anyway, maybe try balance it out to the left or take the photo differently. Maybe it would help.

    Still, this is really nice. Good luck going forward.

    Just a quick update, added more houses, started the cathedral and bishop's palace, and got rid off some perspective errors (some more are to be changed, like on the dormer window of the palace)

    Last update for today, most of the upper town is finished and the outlines of the remaining buildings are done.

    And to give an idea of how much is planned, the upper town has a width of about 15cm on paper, and the whole is drawn on an A2 sheet.

    Another update, the upper town is finished - and this time i put a scale on it. And i marked some important buildings with numbers temporarily to do a bit of explaining:

    I - The bishop's palace
    II - The cathedral
    III - the university building
    IV - the bishop's main storehouse
    V - the parish church of the upper town

    Now for the rest of the town - as i said at the beginning, there will be a lower town, larger than the hilltop bit - and the river with a large bridge. I started to do some basic road layout, considering that the lower parts of the town developed in a way less organized way, which led to a mix of very small and rather large building plots, and a rather less effective road system. Nevertheless, there will be some important building in that part of the town, mainly monasteries that were founded too late to find a space within the upper town. Otherwise, there will be some kind of port, whose extent i haven't thought about yet though.

    PS: Added some reference images for buildings of the lower town here - all of them 15th century buildings, from Tübingen, Neubulach and Wissembourg, all photos taken by me - just to give an idea about what that part of the town will probably look like.

    Just another small update - i haven’t been that productive today - concerning the bridge and two adjacent buildings: The town mill and a small hospital.
