Los Angeles Skyline and Palms

Large Los Angeles lettering sits above a cityscape filled with skyscrapers, palm trees and tiled-roof buildings. A winding road with two cars leads into the scene, while the Hollywood sign stretches across the hillside behind the towers. Clouds, a round sun and a tall antenna complete the skyline.

This medium-level sheet gives teens a mix of broad areas and smaller details, with the windows, roof tiles and palm fronds calling for a finer point. Try colored pencils for those narrow spaces and use pale blue or warm peach for the sky. A palette of sandy rooftops, green palms and cool gray towers can tie the scene together while leaving the large outlined lettering open for a bolder color.
