London Skyline by the River

This London skyline brings together a tall clock tower, a large observation wheel and a two-towered bridge beside the river. A passenger boat crosses the water, while pigeons perch on the foreground railing near an ornate streetlamp and telephone box. Clouds and flying birds fill the open sky beneath the outlined London heading and the words “Keep Calm and Colour On.”

With narrow railings, rows of windows and many wheel spokes, this detailed drawing suits teens who enjoy taking their time with architecture. Try colored pencils for the smaller spaces, with stone shades for the buildings and blue for the river. A red telephone box can add a bright accent to the finished scene.
