Traditional Lighthouse - Attempt 1

Hey there! So this drawing comes with a bit of a story; whilst I was drawing this one my phone (I use it to take the progress pictures) ran out of space to accommodate any more pictures, so I don't have the step-by-step for this, but I do however have the guidelines for my first attempt at this drawing, but the end product varies in size and spacing; I apologise for this, I'll try to not let it happen again!

The materials used are as follows: 

- Letraset Promarkers
- Copic Ciao markers 
- Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils (white for highlights)
- Faber-Castell PITT fine liner pens 
- Pencils of varying weights (Reeves)
- Ruler, compass, eraser. 
- Daler Rowney Cachet sketchbook (A3)

The video used for this tutorial is by thebrokenpuppet, and here's the link to the video I used:

Here is the final product in all its glory: 

The below are the guidelines for a similar drawing that I didn't finish due to having issues with these lines, they're not perfect but it does show what goes into the above drawing before it reaches its final stage, so although these guidelines never did become a traditional lighthouse; here they are anyway for reference:

The finished drawing prompted me to do something I will outline in my next post, which is basically to test which of my markets/pencils work best on the brown semi-glossy paper of the Daler Rowney Cachet sketchbook, to do this I drew three identical images, and used similar colours, I'll post my results soon!
