Chicago Skyline Pen & Ink Cityscape Drawing Of Downtown Skyscrapers #275A

Description

Chicago skyline 275A pen & ink cityscape drawing of downtown skyscrapers by Stephen Condren.

Cityscape

This cityscape rendering is a pen & ink drawing of downtown Chicago overlooking Monroe Harbor. Willis Tower is the tall building on the left side of the drawing, and the St. Regis is the tallest on the right. Willis Tower is the tallest building in the drawing followed by the St. Regis because they have the most floors. To the center right of the drawing are Trump Tower, Aon Center, and One Prudential Plaza.

The Chicago Loop has the second largest cluster of skyscrapers in the country outside of Manhattan island because of the many corporations located there. This cityscape rendering show the front view of the city because Grant Park is considered the front door of Chicago. Grant Park is a large public city plaza on the shores of Lake Michigan.

This cityscape drawing shows the trees of the park just above the waters of Lake Michigan. The trees are a visual support to the towering skyscrapers above them.

The cityscape drawing is done in free-hand with a fine and medium pen tip. Hatched lines were incorporated to make the image of the skyscrapers. Contour lines were not used in this rendering because they are too bold for the scale of the drawing.
