Philadelphia Skyline Pen & Inks

This article is about Philadelphia skyline pen & inks, which are for sale at discount with prints by artist Stephen F. Condren, BFA-SAIC, of Condren Galleries, a Fine Arts Gallery, offering JPEG & PDF scans. The city of Philadelphia sends itself handsomely to pen & inks as it has a very robust skyline. Outside of Manhattan Island, Philadelphia has the second largest skyline on the east coast! The fine architectural history and ornamentation on many of the cities building are a treasure.

Delineation

The city of Philadelphia is very old and thus has a vast range of architecture form colonial times to the present. All in all there is a lot of details and ornamentation in the architecture of the city that come out beautifully with pen & inks.

Perspective

Architectural subjects are the most natural subject when it comes to perspective drawings. Though the cityscapes and skyline pen & inks that I execute here are not perspective drawings in the strict sense of the word. An excellent example of my perspective drawings are my famous renderings of the Loeb Mansion from the Leopold and Loeb murder trial of Chicago in 1924, see below.

Pencil architectural rendering of the Loeb mansion of the Leopold and Loeb murder case of 1924 in Chicago. The mansion was at 5017 S. Ellis Avenue in the Kenwood/Hyde Park district of Chicago. This rendering was done by artist Stephen F. Condren for Condren Galleries product SKU# 5000.

All of the skyline pen & inks that I offer here are done freehand with 2-point perspective in mind.

Philadelphia Skyline Pen & Inks Landscape

The Philadelphia skyline pen & inks landscape starts with FDR Park, a landmark city park that has been a model to the nation since its inception early in the 20th Century. The boathouse and gazebo have been designated on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places. It is sites like these that make pen & inks an excellent medium to create urban and skyline drawings with.

Philadelphia Skyline Pen & Ink Drawing Of Downtown #790. Key points in the drawing are:

  1. The use of brown ink.
  2. Cross hatching.
  3. Building contour lines.

In this lovely drawing of Philadelphia I have made an effort to carefully detail both the landscape and the skyscrapers that tower behind FDR Park. When doing this I made use of cross hatching to get the full range of tones given off my shade and shadows of both the landscape and the buildings. I am very pleased with how well the hatching brings out the charm of the Classical structure in the bottom right side of the drawing.

The drawing of the trees is very full and rich which is essential in visually supporting the skyscrapers that jut out from behind them. There is a strong sense of continuity throughout the drawings that makes the viewer want to come back to look and see what other things can be seen in the drawing.

This article is about Philadelphia skyline #032Z 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 drawing of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, skyline.

Philadelphia skyline pen & ink drawing of downtown #789. To do such a drawing I suggest the following:

  1. Have high quality permanent ink and excellent pens or styluses.
  2. Choose a vantage point that take in the desired angle of the site.
  3. Look at the horizon line and make sure that it is not in the center of your drawing.

This drawing is of the central downtown district on the Schuylkill River. This is my favorite drawing of Philadelphia, it is one of those drawing where all of the elements that I was seeking came together.

The brown ink is a plus for this image, it nicely compliments the flow of the Schuylkill River with it’s “brown trees” along the shore line. Most of the line work is straight and I have used very little cross hatching as the lighting of the day does not place demands for shade and shadows.
