City of Roses

By Tasneem Arif

Original Black & White Pencil Drawing of Portland, Oregon with details in the buildings, and city skyline. After a hike to the top of the mountain lead to this amazing view of Portland, Oregon. It took a lot of T square to draw the city buildings and simplify the shapes. With an HB pencil, I carefully sketched the details of the texture of the dense forest. After I kept layering with a darker pencil. I kept darkening the texture and leaving out the highlights.
