This article is about Atlanta skyline #020Z night pen & ink drawing of downtown at night, which is for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. This article is shows the beauty of Atlanta, Georgia, at night.

Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Key Points:

  1. Find a good spot to sit that offers a maximum view of the city.
  2. Have all of your art supplies at hand.
  3. Focus on the city night lights since that is all you have to work with to ferret out the image of the building.

It must always be remembered that we are creating a work of are and not reproducing photographic or CAD images. The point of this task is to express our humanity through lines.

When drawing in the dark be as careful with your own clothing as you are with the paper for it gets difficult to draw in the dark especially when you are highly focused on a subject. Be sure to keep looking back and forth so that you do not slip or miss points. It is very easy to mess up and blur images, thus making you start over again.

I usually commence my pen & ink drawings by doing a quick pencil sketch of the scene on the paper first, then I apply the ink. I do not hover over the drawing but I do make my lines rather quickly, as we are in the open air and not at a drafting table or studio desk.

Atlanta Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Of Downtown At Night #019Z

Atlanta skyline #824A pen & ink cityscape drawing is popular because of it's view of downtown at night.

This article is about Atlanta skyline #019Z pen & ink drawing at night, which is for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. This article is about my pen & ink drawing of the downtown Atlanta, Georgia, skyline at night.

Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Key Points:

  1. Ware a sweater or jacket as it gets cool at night.
  2. Bring all of your art supplies and keep them on hand.
  3. Carefully study the night city lights as they are the key to getting the delineation of the structures which are obscured by darkness.

The difficult task at hand here is the competent rendering of the skyline at night. Due to the ease of making everything black you can ruin your work permanently. It is like comparing a Mozart symphony with a Wagnerian opera. In the Mozart symphony you have a clear and transparent score with a focus on the musical line. Whereas, with the Wagnerian opera you have so much going on in the score that it is easy to lose things in the chaos! The same holds true here, do not get “Wagnerian” and clutter you drawing with cross hatching but rather be more like Mozart and let the elegance of the line gently flow.

Pen & Ink Skyline Drawing Key Points:

  1. Select a good site that offers a premium vista and perspective.
  2. Have all of your art supplies ready and on hand.
  3. Study the contour of the structures to grasp the delineation of the drawing.

When you are working with pen & ink you have to always keep in mind that you are working with a high contract substance which allows for great diversity in detailing due to the power of the line. But it is also good to keep in mind that ink is very unforgiving and so you much very accurately place your lines so that they do not muddle the drawing.

In the drawing I have take to full pleasure of the pen and I let the ink flow gently over the paper. I have made it a point not to be rigid and “Architectural” in my rendering but rather open and free to form but keeping the definition of the skyscrapers intact.

It is a fine thing to draw a skyline anyway that you like, however, if you want to yield a fine artistic rendering that bears your style then you much be true to the forms of the buildings that are before you otherwise you have a subjective abstraction.

Atlanta Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Of Downtown #017Z

Atlanta skyline #822A pen & ink black line drawing is popular because of it's view of downtown.

This article is about Atlanta skyline #017Z pen & ink drawing of downtown, which is for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. This article is about my pen & ink skyline drawing of downtown Atlanta, Georgia.

Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Key Points:

  1. Have all of your art supplies ready and on hand.
  2. Choose a spot that has a clear view of the subject.
  3. Study carefully the contour of the structures.

This handsome drawing of Atlanta is a solid rendering of this great city. I have chosen to focus on the delineation of the skyscrapers rather than do an overall cityscape. Thus, I have no clouds, people, traffic, or construction anywhere in the drawing, enabling me to focus on the structures. I have drawn them in a such a manner so as to suggest a friendly gather of colleague instead of a random cluster of office buildings.

You will notice as you look closely at the rendering that my line work is loose and fresh giving a warmth to the drawing. I clearly do not want to do any kind of architectural rendering or illustration, which smacks of commercial values, rather my focus is on the joy of the line!
