Projecting a cityscape onto a 2D plane was an interesting study vs my usual approach of conceptualising 3D geometry with perspective.
Often times I like to use stairs to lead the eye around cityscape scenes for example.The flat buildings however take up significantly more canvas real estate as 2D shapes and thus iI as influenced to adopt more variation in the scale & composition.
The lakes dotted around the scene are not typical of my illustrations, however I felt they would help to break down some of the complexity / patterns formed by the more regularly shaped buildings.
