About this work

This cityscape drawing is done in black and white, with buildings and palm trees depicted in a detailed, almost 3D style. The artist used felt-tip pen and pencil on transparentized paper to create the image. The drawing shows a mix of tall buildings, some with signs like "HILTON" and "PARAMOUNT", and smaller buildings with palm trees in front of them. The overall effect is one of a bustling city, with a sense of depth and texture created by the use of different shading techniques. The drawing is a great example of the artist's skill with cross-hatching and stippling techniques, which create a sense of texture and depth in the image.
