Description
Chicago skyline 241A pen & ink cityscape drawing of skyscrapers in the downtown Loop by Stephen Condren, BFA, SAIC.
Cityscape
This cityscape rendering is of the Loop in downtown Chicago. The view of this cityscape is from Monroe Harbor looking west. On the left side is Willis Tower and on the right side is Aon Center. Willis Tower is the tallest building in Chicago. This is a free-hand drawing of the Chicago cityscape because it is Fine Art. Hatched lines make up the shade and shadows of the cityscape. There is no cross-hatching at all in this cityscape drawing. The delineation of the skyscrapers is loose because the lines are down in free hand.
The rendering is down as seen from Lake Michigan, because this is the most popular view of the skyline. Most views of Chicago are seen from a boat floating on the lake because it offers clean clear views. In this view of the city, you can see the tallest buildings because they are high above the other buildings. The water is drawing with contour lines because they show the waves.
