Seattle skyline #877A pen & ink cityscape drawing, by artist Stephen Condren, BFA, SAIC, of Condren Galleries.

Key elements of this work of art are as follows:

Elliott Bay

Seattle skyline pen & ink line drawing of downtown on Elliott Bay. In the waterfront view of Seattle, Washington, I have focused on a close-up of the downtown. Therefore, to get a better view of the building and the harbor I put the perspective back. Seattle has a wonderful waterfront with Elliott Bay. The bay is not only a viable economic source of revenue it is also provides a great source of comfort and recreation for the residents and visitors to this great city.

I have chose sepia as the color ink for the drawing and again I have used a minimum of hatch and no cross-hatching whatsoever. This view was hungry for detail and I delivered. As is always the case with pen & ink drawings you have to be careful. Ink is not forgiving and to do it over again makes the drawing looked “worked”. to over do with an excessive amount of ink or hatching.
