Steel City Artist

The process of creating the original pen and ink illustrations begins first in pencil on 14" x 17" Strathmore acid-free paper. Every drawing starts with both a horizontal and a vertical line and the illustration blossoms outward from the center. After several years of illustrating, I have been able to assimilate the scale of the building which I undertake from the photograph.

Description: Steel City Artist
Once the basic skeleton of the design is complete, I go over it with a series of finely tipped Micron Pigma pens. Over the years, I have discovered that these type of pens have become my ideal choice. The pens range in size from .005 mm up to .08 mm and leave a fine, crisp line. The third step involves using various techniques of cross-hatching, stippling and the very fine detail, which can be seen in both the architecture and surrounding landscape.
