The Spiced Sip Haven is the coziest gathering spot, known for its curved window bay that faces the luminary sanctuary. Legend says the steam that curls from its chimneys isn't just wood smoke; it carries the scent of cinnamon and sage to every corner of Frostfall, beckoning travelers home.

Phew! Day 2 is done, and here is my Spiced Sip Haven. It took me longer than I thought to nail down the shape and that specific segmented look, but it was worth it, I really wanted to keep the buildings cohesive, so I carried over the terracotta walls and that lovely rounded segmentation from the Sanctuary. And yes I plan to use the exact same color palette for all 13 prompts to make our village look perfectly unified

I ended up with two chimneys, which feels extra cozy, and I managed to add a little balcony at the last minute I think it adds some charm to the building. The cutest part? Getting to put the name of the place right on the wall and scribbling out the menu board with those famous Gratitude Brew and Cinnamon Moon Latte names. I was careful to make sure the smoke this time felt totally wholesome and not too spooky like maybe my first one did a little. Even though I reused the background, it still took me forever to draw, but I love how warm and ready for guests this haven looks.

I somehow achieved that wavy pattern and shape on the walls of this building. Two chimneys are better than one. I am glad I made that edit

The wood frames, the balcony are a challenge to draw and color. The brown color does not look right so I used this blue gray shade sometimes choosing the right color could be exhausting.

I tried all the shapes possible for the smoke as I am trying to avoid making them look spooky. I read all your comments and do take not thank you for your useful replies and suggestions. What can you say about the smoke now?

I thought I am already good here as I had put my name on it but one thing is still missing the shadows

That’s two down, eleven to go. We are speeding through November, so let's keep the art coming Whether you are tackling the Gingerbread Grocery or the Frosty Folklore Library next, I can't wait to see your take on the Frostfall aesthetic. Keep sketching, keep creating, and let's get all 13 finished before the month is over. Thanks again to those who had shown their day 1 interpretation of the luminary sanctuary they are all beautiful and inspiring.
