The Charles Bridge, over the Vlatava River in Prague, the Czech Republic

How on earth do you draw water?! I have no idea how to do it.
Ohh I'd love to go to Czech Republic!
I'm not sure if it's me but the second pillar from the right were the slanted bit is seems to be a bit higher then the rest. Then again I'm not sure if it's like that.
I really like ther perspective! =]

The first time I tried drawing this, I only got as far as the prelim sketch. I had laid out a few ruler lines towards a vanishing point, a la art class, but I realized very soon that the lines of the bridge, while parallel in life, dont look right parallel on paper.... its more like a parabala or an approaching zero formula, where the relation of one segment to another doesnt actually stay the same from near to far... imagine telephone poles in the desert; eventually, miles away they're all about the same size, getting less-small but still smaller the farther out you go.

The water was just painfull lol!

His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of
His name
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular name.
