Japanese style house!

Hello all!
My sisters just came back from a long trip to Japan and i asked her to stamp a sketchbook i gave her. Turns out she kept receipts and postcards and is working on scrapbooking in my book!
This really motivated me to draw some japanese inspired buildings, and it just so happened that i was working on a cyberpunk project with a friend so i tried to make everything futuristic!
So i did these sketches


And the first house really inspired me because it was so homy and cosy, so i drew it again and with more detail

I was still feeling obssessed so i drew it on this A3 sheet i had and here is the result!

Like usual ive used too many mediums too count! The alcohol markers i used layered so well under the watercolour, i was really pleasantly surprised! Though i was slightly disappointed the coloured pencils werent showing up on certain colours so i had to use poscas instead. I think next time I’ll try and work more with coloured pencils but overall this was a really fun process and i cant wait to show my sisters!
Good day! :heart:

These are all terrific! I like the red ink one best, as well, but these are all excellent!

What great drawings. It’s neat to see the evolution from sketch to the full colored piece!

@Cindy @kayrun @Bunny1kenobi @AudiobookLover Thanks for all the compliments! Most of the pictures were me sending progress stamps to a friend who was also drawing a really nice drawing. It’s really cool to see the evolution and what I could have done differently.
I agree when it was only in red it looked quite cool, i was thinking of leaving it like that but i had done my sketch with a blue coloured pencil and you could still see it through the drawing. The next drawing in this style I will do has a more blue-green colour scheme and, i have more shades of those colours, so I might do it monochromatic! Thanks for the input and advice, I have a lot to experiment with for the next drawings now!

I just realized there were two red houses, the one I like the best was the second photo, where the house is sideways.
