The road to the NORTH
I created my digital drawing 'To The North' on the social network DADA - where you can speak to people through drawings. This drawing is part of the DADA visual conversation 'going north'.
DADA was envisioned with the goal of creating a vibrant creative community where artists can share their individual visions and connect with each other for the common good.

Drawing on DADA

I created the digital drawing 'To the NORTH' on the DADA platform using their Smartpad drawing tools and my graphics tablet and pen. The tools available include a paintbrush, eraser, and pencil, and the option to alter the opacity of the colour.
You can see below some of the different stages of how I made my digital drawing on DADA.

I love the step by step of this work, there you can appreciate the real work that is behind this beautiful work, congratulations for the knowledge you have of drawing techniques
I wish you a beautiful evening dear friend @opheliafu
I think what is interesting with seeing the steps is how the city starts -carved out from a large black cloud using the eraser tool. The finished look of the city reminds me of a woodblock print too!
Traveling north could be traveling to the unknown? This great digital art you made, simple but fantastic I loved
Luckily I have Google maps!
Like the city scene, and drawing it on Dada certainly takes a special discipline. Well done.
Thank you @joechiappetta, the buildings are an unusual shape in this city as I am referencing the bottle kilns ('bottle' refers to the shape of the structure and not to the kiln's products, which are pottery), and mills of the Northern towns of the UK.
Hi! Very nice drawing! Have a great day on Steemit too ;-)
Thank you -Steem on @feelisgood!
Ah back on the ol Dada I see :D
Sorry I haven't given it much attention. I'm doing my own short stories for Steemit. Takes so much time!
Yes, I've managed to spend a bit more time on there this week, I had a lot on the last couple of weeks so I'm starting to play catch up again!
Fantastic post friend thanks
