With only 20 minutes left before the throw-down, I decided to put colour blocks on the paper first before drawing the details. The loose drawing turned out better. A fellow sketcher, who is also an art teacher, walked over and gave me some positive feedback. He also suggested me to add something in the centre as the focus point. Therefore a washing line and a fire hydrant were added.
Taiwanese street scenes is really difficult to capture!
The street scene is a really strong composition with all those geometric shapes. Oh, I know that feeling of spending so much time on a sketch and seeing it end terribly! I've often thought that the true value of having "enough" experience as a sketcher is learning to stop sooner rather than later. I have yet to gain that much experience, but I am stopping somewhat sooner. ;-)

I should have taken a photo of the real scene to show how many things I omitted. Yes, it's important to know when to stop. Lesson learned - and I will try to remember this!
