I think it's cool to look it. You do have talent in drawing.

[Larks2242 251]

Whoa, those look awesome!, wish i could draw that well.

[Durfsurn 539]

W-O-W my dad is an urban designer and he would live those drawings!

Whatever turns you on. Perhaps you should just increment your album. At one time, I was heavily into black and white landscape photography. Your drawings have a photographic quality. You should nurture this talent.

Just to make it easier to view here is a picture of the biggest city:

These are very good!

[Jazzmaster 716]

These look really nice. You should look into a career with this talent no matter what, whether it be graphic design or architecture or whatever suits you.

Nice fantasy city! Yes, you should continue drawing, as it is a useful skill.

Not sure I'd want to live there though, of course I imagine your enjoyment of these is aesthetic(right brain) rather than left brain which is how I always planned my fantasy cities. But yeah, its nothing but self-contained high rise developments on wide roads with roundabouts? I imagine severe traffic congestion as the only way to move around is by car, and roundabouts fill up and don't work in such circumstances. The Galleria area in Houston, Pudong in Shanghai, etc are like this and people who don't live/work/shop in them tend to avoid the area because they are such a pain.

Have you shown any of this to someone in the art world? I am no art critic, but you may have a large enough portfolio for a gallery to hang it.

But I draw them becuase if you ever visit cities such as London, Leeds and Birmingham (all in Britain) are all like this, congestion, large roundabouts, highrises etc but I like combining them all becuase it creates and represents a modern first world metropolis...

Thanks for your feedback and comments,

~ James.

Thanks for your comments, regarding the gallery of course I would love too but I would'nt know where to go / start although from my perspective I would love it to be framed and if possible it could even advertise simtropolis...

Well, if you are in school, try the art teacher. If you are not, then find a local gallery and ask for their advice. Those drawings at the most need to be mounted on a backing board, and perhaps masked but I think they are fine as is. You just need to give them a stiffener so they will hang properly. Framing can be very expensive, and it becomes a real investment at that point.

Well in actuall fact the city does consist of alot of transportation networks, I have an edited photo with key showing you what is what... (key is at the bottom)

KEY:

RED DOTS = Train Stations

BROWN LINES = Rail Lines And Networks

BLUE LINES = Motorways

GREY LINES = Normal Roads

GREEN LINES = Dual Carrige Ways

And Also Please Note The Airport In The South East...
