Atlanta Skyline Drawing Of Downtown At Night #815. When drawing such a theme it is wise to observe the following:
- Clear understand the line differentiation between the evening sky and the structures below.
- Have a clear grasp of the perspective, since it is dark and you need to understand the position of the structures to each other.
- Have all of your supplies on hand.
This drawing of downtown Atlanta, Georgia, has always been pleasing to me. It is one of those drawings where everything goes just right. The tone of the shadows of the evening sky gently compliments the contour lines of the buildings. When shadowing the sky, care must be taken as not to darken the sky too much especially near the edge of the building, because once you darken you cannot take back the strokes.
Always keep delineation in mind and you draw the contour otherwise you will make the skyline look flat. Shade and shadows are crucial in any skyline drawing due to the fact that perspective is never utilized.
