Principle and Practice of Illustration. Mono Print Skyline Edit.

 Mono Print Skyline I created from the Visual Audio of Trans-Europe Express.
Something I really like about the monoprint is the messy/almost fussy lines you can create and how different all the lines can be by using different objects to mark make. This particular image was made with a pencil for all the line work and then a ruler for all of the shading.
I made the skylines at night to keep it connected to the lyrics in Trans-Europe Express.

Here I added more layers of textured monoprint to the skyline.

Adding textures and layers is something I do very often within my sketchbook and I wanted to try and incorporate that into some of my other non-sketchbook work.
