Fort San Pedro, located in Cebu City, Philippines, stands as a historical testament to the region's rich past and colonial legacy. Built under the Spanish colonial era in 1565, this triangular bastion fort was constructed by the Spanish conquistador Miguel López de Legazpi, marking the site's significance in the country's history.

The fort served various purposes throughout its existence, initially designed to defend against Muslim raiders and later utilized as a stronghold during numerous conflicts. Over the centuries, Fort San Pedro has undergone several renovations and modifications, but its distinctive triangular shape and robust stone walls have endured the test of time.

“Fort San Pedro”

Fort San Pedro is one of the historical sites here in Cebu City, Philippines.

As I looked into my photo gallery on my iPad mini, I found a picture which caught my attention and that's Fort San Pedro. So I decided to draw it on a Sketch Paper with the use of Pigma Pens and Brush Pen. I'm glad that my efforts paid off. It took me about two weeks to finish the work due to the intricacies of the structure of the Fort.
