Chicago skyline drawing #153Z is a pen & ink drawing of North Lake Shore Drive by artist Stephen F. Condren of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, with prints, and scans. This article is about my brown pen & ink drawing of the Chicago, Illinois, skyline looking southward from Lincoln Park, along Lake Michigan. Because Chicago skylines are great, their prints are great! Prints & Scans Of This Skyline Drawing #153Z ~ Order Here.
Chicago Skyline Drawing #153Z Key elements to the fine drawing are as follows:
- Brown Pen & Ink.
- Lake Michigan.
- John Hancock Center.
- Brown Pen & Ink: This drawing is done in brown pen & ink so as to compliment the soft tones of the drawing. Everything about this drawing flows gracefully and elegantly. The John Hancock Center, which is the centerpiece of the drawing stands aloft in triumph over the scenic cityscape. On the far left is Lake Point Tower, drawn with just the right line work and weight to give full account of that great residential building.
- Lake Michigan: The presence of Lake Michigan is all pervasive in the coast drawing as she quietly dominates the lower portion of the drawing from side to side. It is along here that Lake Shore Drive nestles among the trees as it moves traffic along the lakefront.
- John Hancock Center: The undisputed grand monarch of Streeterville, and among the greatest skyscrapers of history stands the John Hancock Center. The line work that portrays this great structure is exact and elegant at the same time, perfectly expressing with a few strokes this mighty structure. I have gently worked every detail of this building so as to bring out it excellent proportions, and in so doing leaving the giant exoskeleton out of the drawing.
