Stairway hallway drawing

Description

This is the view from my room (you can see the light yellow edge of the slide door)

This was NOT drawn from a photograph, but from life

This is my first time drawing something like this - I haven't seen any one draw on a computer from life, but I always wanted to try it

3-4 hours, paint tool SAI only

This looks so much like a photograph... and I think that's because you DIDN'T use a photo as the reference... (as contradictory as that could sound)

Any art professors I have ever had have stressed that when you draw from a photo, it doesn't look REAL... it looks like you drew from a photo.
This is wonderful. The lighting, the shadows, the warmth and cool colors respectively... All of it looks like I'm looking out a doorway into a real hall. It's that complex shadow and light play that's so hard to get in a photograph that makes this come alive. :)
