I drew a coloured pencil drawing of a quiet residential street at sunrise.

The sky glows with warm shades of orange, pink, and yellow, contrasting with the cool blues and purples of the houses, road, and parked cars below. A light layer of snow dusts the ground and rooftops, catching the faint early light. The scene feels still and hushed, capturing the fleeting moment when night gives way to day.

The second image is a montage of eight panels showing the progression of a coloured pencil drawing: beginning with light outlines and pale base colours, then gradual layering of blues, purples, and oranges, and finally the completed scene of houses on a snowy residential street at sunrise with a glowing sky.
