Light and shade in old village

I prefer to draw what attracts me at first glance even it’s ordinary or unremarkable. This house located at Inchon city seemed to be suspended in the process of removal. The broken bricks on the walls were left. Nobody seemed to live there. But the sunlight made the house look shinier than any other new buildings to my eyes.

Under the Mansuk overpass at Inchon there is an old village which waits for redevelopment soon. The diagonal shadow in foreground was made by the overpass under which the neighboring inhabitants rested sitting on a flat bench in summer. I also rested drawing them. Sometimes people sell living crabs and raw oysters caught by their ships.
