Philadelphia Skyline Charcoal Drawing Of Downtown #797. Key point to this drawing are as follows.
- The absence of clouds and foreground.
- Monolithic cluster.
- Soft lines.
It is my intention with this drawing to make a strong and bold drawing of the Philadelphia skyline by focusing my attention on the structures. Charcoal lends itself to this kind of drawing because of the soft and dark text of the coal, it leave granules at every point, thus making it very difficult to execute for it is ever so easy smear and ruin the drawing.
What is most interesting to me with regards to the grouping of the buildings is how together they form a cluster of crystals and the wonderful soft lines of charcoal lend themselves to this organic material.
