My arm hurts! 30 arch columns drafted. Still a lot more to go, but the spacing and angles were the tricky part, so I’m glad that’s done.
The addition of the arches, including the overlay sketch, took 3 hours.

I lack the skill to just paint the arches in, especially since I want the large, close ones to have good detail. So I opted to sketch in a few for starters. The ones further away won’t have the same detail, but will carry the burden of contrasting values to showcase the sunlight. Well, that’s the plan at least.
Added sky, improved the sand of the bull ring, including texture. FInally, laid in the first layer of benches on the lower level. Also figured out the spacing on the arches. Next weekend this should start looking more appealing.
