Chicago Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Of Near North Side #045Z

Chicago Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Of Near North Side.

This article is about Chicago skyline #045Z Pen & Ink Drawing Of Near North Side, 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 is my pen & ink drawing of the Chicago, Illinois, skyline at the near north side.

Key points to this drawing are as follows:

  • Hatching.

  • Elevation.

  • Subject.

  1. Hatching: This drawing has a lot of hatching and cross hatching in it. Generally I like to reserve cross hatching for intensification of shade and shadow. In this drawing there is of course shadowing, but I have also used my hatching to create the structures. If you look at the John Hancock Center, I have omitted the famous “X” for the exoskeleton and used simple vertical hatch lines. Likewise with the Water Tower Place just behind and to the life, I have use a series of gentle cross hating lines. These hatches are clearly not shade and shadow but rather structural.
  2. Elevation: The elevation of the drawing is low in comparison to the heights of the buildings in it. The view is from the lake near Lincoln Park and gives a good representation of Streeterville, the beloved neighborhood of the near north side.
  3. Subject: The John Hancock Center is the real subject of this drawing. All of the other building are a “supporting cast” to the scene. Even the titanic Willis Tower is dwarfed by the John Hancock Center in the view due to its distance and recess in the vanishing line plane.

Chicago Harbor Lighthouse Pen & Ink Key Points:

  1. Charm.
  2. Lighting.
  3. Safety.

This wonderful structure sits on the northern rim of Burnham Harbor in Chicago, Illinois. The distance of the lighthouse from the shore is approximately one-mile due ease of Chicago. To capture the shade and shadows of the light house in this rendering, I have used fine hatched and cross-hatched lines because they show form.

Delineation of the Chicago Harbor lighthouse #001Z

The drawing that I have done is in pen & ink and it reflects the movement of the waves coming from the shoreline of Lake Michigan. I have used contour lines to draw the image of the light house and skyline because they show the outline of the cityscape. The best way to show all the detailing is by combining contour lines with hatched line because together they harness the entire scene. Putting dark lines with bold thickness is always good because they make the drawing stronger.
