This is the first sketch for a series I've been thinking about for a while, mixing everyday city motifs into lace. But I can't make lace so I'm starting with pen and ink.

It's not really worked because the black ink and traditional shape of the streetlamp makes it a bit gothy / art GCSE, but I'm going to persevere and see if I can pull it off

Just keep going I'd say, nothing wrong with gothy, do you know/feel where the drawing "should go"?

Conceptually yes, it needs to look like lace with recognisable but not stereotyped urban shapes in it. I think I need to do some more studies of actual lace first. Or learn to make lace. And maybe try photoshopping a negative version.
