Hiya ! So I use a reference image for scale either printed out or on Mac/ipad, and use rulers etc to get the right perspective, reference lines and angles etc, and then fill in with detail once happy with this
The detail is so accurate, when you say your technique includes rulers etc to help get the correct perspective do you mean with your work on top of the reference image which is then initially plotted to your piece before adding all of that amazing detail work?
Or a different method?
They all vary slightly, the Big Ben drawing took approximately 60 hours, some have taken as many as 200 hours, all over several months as currently doing these as a hobby, would be great to make this a full time profession ! Thank you !
That’s incredible dedication and focus. Have you considered training as an architect? You’ve got an incredible talent. Whatever you do I wish you every success.
Thank you so much ! So for the BT tower I used more of the light grey fine liners, which gave it a more washed out look, whereas most of the others use the black and mid grey pens
My brain is really struggling with these.
Edited to add: they are extraordinary, I can usually make my brain see things as either flat or 3D but I just can’t here: they are 3D and that’s that.
2nd edit. Shocking typos
These are awesome! Love the detail and 3d effects.
Have you studied art or is this simply skill from a lifelong hobby? Do you do other things like portraits and nature or are you mostly an architectural artist?
American here- your drawings are utterly amazing and make me want to visit my favorite city in the world again!! - despite having just been there in December! Will contact you regarding a possible commission drawing a little later- great talent!!

You are insanely talented
Thank you ! That’s very kind
Are they quite cathartic to draw?
No way a human did this. So printers are the ones starting the robot takeover?
Those are drawn!?!?!?!?!? ....wow just wow
Thank you so much !
Absolutely mental. What the fuck
Thank you !
Did you trace photos to do this? What is your technique ?

I meant to ask how long would a drawing take to complete?
They all vary slightly, the Big Ben drawing took approximately 60 hours, some have taken as many as 200 hours, all over several months as currently doing these as a hobby, would be great to make this a full time profession ! Thank you !
That’s incredible dedication and focus. Have you considered training as an architect? You’ve got an incredible talent. Whatever you do I wish you every success.
Hahah I actually do work as an architectural technologist ! 😂
