Original artwork description:

This is a large coloured pencil semi abstract and detailed drawing of London, looking at the Tower of London and towards Canary Wharf. The original photo was taken from The Shard.
The colours are mellow and calming, unlike the bustling hub of London!
I use a technique which I have called 'Fractured', breaking up the image adding dynamism, perspective and extra abstracted detail. Coloured pencil lends itself to this technique as you can achieve an immense amount of detail.

Materials used:

Faber Castell Pencils on Daler Rowney heavy cartridge paper
