A Colourful Sunrise

I’ve been drawing a lot of boat sketches lately, like these ones:

One of the main characteristics about these drawings, is the fact that the boats are not coloured.

I think that gives them an interesting look.

But how would the boats look with added colour?

Would it look better or worse?

Well, I wanted to find out.

And here is the answer:

I have to say that adding colour makes a huge difference.

It kind of puts the boats in the center, which again plays down all the features of the backrgound.

I’m not sure how I feel about it.

I’ll have to do a few more.

But so far I kind of like the uncoloured ones.

What do you think? 🙂
