Philadelphia Skyline Charcoal Drawing Of Downtown #798. Key features of this drawing are as follows.
- The drawing is done in charcoal pencil.
- The skyscrapers and not the landscape are the focus.
- No cross hatching is done.
The most important element of this charcoal drawing is the line work. This is the entire reason for the drawing. It was my task to bring out the images of Philadelphia in charcoal, which is softer in appearance then other mediums such as pen & ink, pencil, or stylus.
The landscape of FDR Park is the setting for the cluster of towering skyscrapers that dominate the Philadelphia skyline. The bold and solid line weight of the charcoal enhance the dominion of these towering giants.
