Metropolis in Ink

Metropolis in Ink depicts the layered complexity and grandeur of a modern cityscape using only black ink on paper. The perspective draws the viewer into the heart of a dense metropolitan grid, where high-rises and skyscrapers ascend like silent giants.

Each building is articulated through meticulous hatching, with varied line densities capturing light, depth, and architectural detail. The city stretches into the horizon, evoking both awe and a sense of organized chaos. Clouds and sky are subtly sketched in, maintaining the focus on vertical mass and structure.

This artwork celebrates urban form and invites interpretation—whether seen as an ode to human ambition or as a study in spatial tension. A strong piece for lovers of architecture, illustration, and monochrome compositions.
