Seeing your castle drawings (maybe medieval ruins) or historical buildings of your country – it is as if you would take us there in real time.
Maybe you also draw historical buildings or other architectural objects. Terrific!
Share them with the world.
Every country has its historical spots or places of interest.
Old ancient monuments or castles…or only a small detail on the building that would be worth to draw.
Have you been to Egypt or other world’s famous places and you’ve made some sketches….? Share them!
Not a photo but your hand-made drawings and sketches are what we’d love to see. Do not forget to tell us a story that goes with your drawing.
Make sure the size of your submitted drawings are within:
800 x 600 pixels
