This month’s illustration:<\/p>\n

Some years back, a\u00a0firm where I was employed wanted to secure the design commission to add floors to an existing building in downtown Cincinnati. I was asked to depict the street facade in this illustration (pen, colored markers and pastel on paper). This was a special challenge because this drawing\u00a0was pre-design. Although the existing building was there to see, I had nothing to go on as far as the proposed new work.<\/p>\n

\n

It can be valuable in an architectural illustration to place objects in the foreground to create depth.\u00a0In this case I used a pedestrian and a\u00a0vendor’s street cart as well as\u00a0overhanging street trees which happen to partially obscure a suggestion of the new upper building floors.\u00a0The focus of the drawing was on creating a colorful street scene suggesting busy retail storefronts.<\/p>\n

I think the\u00a0Cincinnati Reds had just won an afternoon game given all the balloons and people in this drawing!<\/p>\n
