Finished picture in black and white. It is an interesting thing, my first idea of it was to draw it certainly in colour. But when I had drawn the basic pencil drawing, I decided to first make the shading with charcoal and only then colour it. And the longer I worked on that, the more I liked it in the black and white and doubted whether the colouring is really needed. I consulted my followers and others, and in the end I decided to leave it like this, mainly for two reasons:

Firstly, I think with the charcoal shading it gained certain clarity of the black and white drawing (especially the perspective drawing of the walls that has been compared to MC Escher pictures), which could be weakened with the colouring, unless done really well. And I have not clear enough vision of the colouring to be confident in it. Secondly, I have many other things to do now, both in art (several pictures waiting to be finished) and in other areas of life), so this is a welcome opportunity to save time and move on to other projects.

I do still wonder how the colouring could turn out, so maybe I will return to it later and try a digitally coloured version or something like that. But for now, I mark this as finished.
