I took a piece of paper and set it up with a piece of wood using scotch tape. I don't have a canvas so as an alternative I tested it with a piece of wood. So that my canvas is in the right position while drawing. Then with the help of a pencil I drew a straight line in the middle of the paper. Today I will draw a picture of a famous structure. This is a very popular structure in my neighboring country which is known as the structure of love. You must be familiar with the name "Taj Mahal". Today my topic is still Taj Mahal.

I will make this structure centered around a minaret and reflect it. There is a small pond in front of this structure where its reflection can be seen. I first drew a tall minaret and then drew its left side. Although I am not a skilled artist, I am still trying to highlight its small aspects through my drawing. If you notice, you will understand that there is a plus sign above the second dome I have drawn. These are the detailing works.

In this step I drew the structure on the left side of the minaret. I focused more on the left side than the right side. There are three separate parts here. It will stand out better after coloring. We don't actually know what these parts are called. This part, like the wall, is actually very nice.
Step- IV
In this step I have finished drawing with pencil. I really like the look of it. Let me know how you like the final look. In this step I have drawn a dome specifically. I have also done some minor detailing work.
Step-V

Here I have used acrylic colors. First I took three colors. I will use a total of four colors here. It actually seems strange to me that such a beautiful picture can still be made using four colors. I have placed drops of acrylic colors at the bottom of my picture. These are basically some shades of blue and white.

I started painting the top part of the image using those colors. Here I will use more white. I blended the blue and white sky well and finished the top and bottom of my image.
Step-VII
I've colored both sides. Now you may see it looks very messy, but it will be fixed later. In the next step, I'll start with the structure.

In this step I painted the main dome white. Then I used blue color for the border. I created a nice color by mixing the colors. Although here I used more blue color for the border. Then I painted the structures white and then colored the doors blue.

A breif history of Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal, a symbol of love for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. As a symbol of immense love for his wife Mumtaz, Emperor Shah Jahan built this huge and magnificent structure after her death. It is a combination of Indian, Persian and Islamic influences and is appreciated worldwide. The outer walls of the Taj Mahal are made of bright marble stone, which can change color depending on the light of the day. In 1983, UNESCO recognized the Taj Mahal as a World Heritage Site.

This is amazing work! 👨🎨I love how you showed the whole process of creating the drawing in detail. It is obvious that you put a lot of effort into every detail, especially the reflection and the shades.
The Taj Mahal is really a great choice for inspiration - it is both a symbol of love and an architectural wonder. Your result looks impressive, especially considering that you used only a few colors.
Keep creating, your works and talent are inspiring! 😊
