Architecture

The nature of architecture is line and solid form. In art you cannot work with sold forms but merely express them. The beauty of pen & ink is that it is sharp and clear and thus lends itself to delineation.

Skyline

Chicago has the second largest skyline in the United States after New York City, Manhattan. The main difference between the two city skylines is that the Manhattan skyline is fragmented between midtown and lower Manhattan. Whereas the skyline of Chicago is more cohesive and undulates from the Loop to the near north side.
