Skyline Delineation

The skyline of Atlanta is done in pen & ink. The pen & inks lend themselves to high contrast drawings. Since the lines are either black on nothing there is no room for compromise. The exactness and precision that the ink lines offer are excellent for architectural subject such as skylines. The lines in the drawing are all sharp and crisp due to the pen tip.

Hatching & Cross-hatching

The shade and shadows on this pen & ink are extensive. Lake Clara Meer is seen with all kinds of lines, the shoreline is heavily treated with hatching. The darkest part of the drawing is near the shoreline due to the lack of light.

Skyline Delineation

The skyline sketch is first laid out in pencil then I go over this in ink so that you can more clearly see the angle and horizon line. The pen & ink help convey the substance of the drawing better than just pencil alone. Please note that all of these lines are loosely done and provide the suggested concept of the work of art to come. This is just the staring point of the rendering process and this sketch is on a separate sheet of paper from the original work of art to come.

Hatching & Cross-hatching

The shade and shadows on the sketch are to help denote the affect of light on the composition. One of the most effective ways to demonstrate shade and shadows are with hatch lines. Hatch lines are short parallel lines drawn in a row along a shaded surface to as to “cast” the shadow on the image in the drawing.

Atlanta Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Of Downtown #021Z

Atlanta skyline #826A pen & ink cityscape drawing is popular because of it's view of downtown.

This article is about Atlanta skyline #021Z pen & ink drawing of downtown, which is for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. This drawing of downtown Atlanta is one of my best selling, if not, best selling print at Condren Galleries.

Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing

  1. Have all of your art supplies ready at hand.
  2. Study the contour of the city skyscrapers.
  3. Position yourself where you have the best vantage point to gain a full perspective of the site.

I am delighted to say that this pen & ink drawing has been my best selling print and I am honored that it is from the great and noble city of Atlanta, which I truly love.

This drawing of Atlanta is different than my others in that I have chosen to do just the simple outlines with complimenting details rather then a fully rendered skyline drawing. These skyline drawings can get overwhelmingly complex and detailed to the point of bewilderment. There is just way too much information in the sites to adequately render on paper, even photographs blur many of the site features!

Because I have chosen to do a simple line drawing it is more difficult to render because it leave no room for making mistakes ~ you can see everything. When drawing it is wise to have a drawing post or bar to lean your arm against so that you can make steady lines. You do not want you lines to be “ruler” straight but you do need to have the put down orderly so that they make sense when you see the finished drawing.

Atlanta Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Of Downtown At Night #020Z

Atlanta skyline #825A pen & ink drawing is popular because of it's downtown nighttime scene.

This article is about Atlanta skyline #020Z night pen & ink drawing of downtown at night, which is for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. This article is shows the beauty of Atlanta, Georgia, at night.

Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Key Points:

  1. Find a good spot to sit that offers a maximum view of the city.
  2. Have all of your art supplies at hand.
  3. Focus on the city night lights since that is all you have to work with to ferret out the image of the building.

It must always be remembered that we are creating a work of are and not reproducing photographic or CAD images. The point of this task is to express our humanity through lines.

When drawing in the dark be as careful with your own clothing as you are with the paper for it gets difficult to draw in the dark especially when you are highly focused on a subject. Be sure to keep looking back and forth so that you do not slip or miss points. It is very easy to mess up and blur images, thus making you start over again.

I usually commence my pen & ink drawings by doing a quick pencil sketch of the scene on the paper first, then I apply the ink. I do not hover over the drawing but I do make my lines rather quickly, as we are in the open air and not at a drafting table or studio desk.

Atlanta Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Of Downtown At Night #019Z

Atlanta skyline #824A pen & ink cityscape drawing is popular because of it's view of downtown at night.

This article is about Atlanta skyline #019Z pen & ink drawing at night, which is for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. This article is about my pen & ink drawing of the downtown Atlanta, Georgia, skyline at night.

Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Key Points:

  1. Ware a sweater or jacket as it gets cool at night.
  2. Bring all of your art supplies and keep them on hand.
  3. Carefully study the night city lights as they are the key to getting the delineation of the structures which are obscured by darkness.

The difficult task at hand here is the competent rendering of the skyline at night. Due to the ease of making everything black you can ruin your work permanently. It is like comparing a Mozart symphony with a Wagnerian opera. In the Mozart symphony you have a clear and transparent score with a focus on the musical line. Whereas, with the Wagnerian opera you have so much going on in the score that it is easy to lose things in the chaos! The same holds true here, do not get “Wagnerian” and clutter you drawing with cross hatching but rather be more like Mozart and let the elegance of the line gently flow.

This article is about Atlanta skyline #018Z pen & ink skyline drawing of downtown, which is for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. This drawing is my single best selling drawing of all time. Thank you Atlanta! This article is about my pen & ink drawing of downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Prints & Scans Of This Pen & Ink Skyline Of Atlanta ~ #595Z ~ Order Here.

Pen & Ink Skyline Drawing Key Points:

  1. Select a good site that offers a premium vista and perspective.
  2. Have all of your art supplies ready and on hand.
  3. Study the contour of the structures to grasp the delineation of the drawing.

When you are working with pen & ink you have to always keep in mind that you are working with a high contract substance which allows for great diversity in detailing due to the power of the line. But it is also good to keep in mind that ink is very unforgiving and so you much very accurately place your lines so that they do not muddle the drawing.

In the drawing I have take to full pleasure of the pen and I let the ink flow gently over the paper. I have made it a point not to be rigid and “Architectural” in my rendering but rather open and free to form but keeping the definition of the skyscrapers intact.

It is a fine thing to draw a skyline anyway that you like, however, if you want to yield a fine artistic rendering that bears your style then you much be true to the forms of the buildings that are before you otherwise you have a subjective abstraction.

Atlanta Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Of Downtown #017Z

Atlanta skyline #822A pen & ink black line drawing is popular because of it's view of downtown.

This article is about Atlanta skyline #017Z pen & ink drawing of downtown, which is for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. This article is about my pen & ink skyline drawing of downtown Atlanta, Georgia.

Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Key Points:

  1. Have all of your art supplies ready and on hand.
  2. Choose a spot that has a clear view of the subject.
  3. Study carefully the contour of the structures.

This handsome drawing of Atlanta is a solid rendering of this great city. I have chosen to focus on the delineation of the skyscrapers rather than do an overall cityscape. Thus, I have no clouds, people, traffic, or construction anywhere in the drawing, enabling me to focus on the structures. I have drawn them in a such a manner so as to suggest a friendly gather of colleague instead of a random cluster of office buildings.

You will notice as you look closely at the rendering that my line work is loose and fresh giving a warmth to the drawing. I clearly do not want to do any kind of architectural rendering or illustration, which smacks of commercial values, rather my focus is on the joy of the line!
