Glad you have such a lofty regard for me and my accomplishments.

You too have some nice looking drawings...

Yep, I'm more of an occasional visitor to this forum, kinda same with drawings. Too many hobbies, too little time...

I like the Burj Azizi Diagram, not sure about the color pallete however. Why's it so green?

The best render I could find shows a golden color, as a result of sunlight reflecting off the tower. I am still not really sure what color it's supposed to be. Once some glass goes up, in 2 yrs?, then we'll know...

90% of the time when you see a render with that silver-ish shiny elevation, it's gonna end up as pale blue or just regular blue glass. They like to render it this way so it stands out.

My go-to glass color is a blue-green mix: (181-33-75 on the color palette)

I get it. I like to use pale colours, because I would say it's a careful approach to colouring, since some buildings look so different in different lighting and weather conditions
But your drawing style is amazing, ngl.

Your Burj Azizi drawing is very amazing!

I've seen many of your drawings and what always peeks my interest is your use of the color green on parts of buildings that are normally yellow. I'm curious to know why that is. Appreciate your work

Perhaps because I'm color-blind. I have been known to use the wrong color in the past... Which buildings are you referring to?

Deutan colorblindness was the first thing i thought of. Some of the buildings i noticed are Marina 106 (the hole), Sumou Towers, Highlife Tower, and RP One. Many buildings have sort of a cyan color to them, but that doesn’t strike the eye all that much

Also the Grand Hyatt Manila and Shangri La at the Fort in Taguig have a unusual colouration. However I always thought it's your certain drawing style, Koops65. I like the drawings though.

That is the color I often use for the glass on the towers I draw.
