This is a sketch I did that I really like. I had been drawing street scenes for a while at the time but all from references. One day I wanted to draw the opening scene to my story and didn't have access to any of my reference material. Besides none of my references looked how I wanted the opening scene to look like. This lead to me drawing the scene from my head. My natural scratchy rough style combined with not basing the scene on a photo gave th drawing a really cool feel that I thought lent itself to the dark edgy tone I wanted for this scene. I guess the main problem with this scene is the area doesn't look that rough. 
I think the buildings need to be taller and possibly more boring.
A cool side affect of this not being the case though is the street looks kind of European and the play is originally set in Athens, so in some ways the scene is still a success.
