This image shows an urban landscape drawing in which the main focus was the representation of the sky, and it was done in around 2 hours using markers.
The impressionistic technique works well for this landscape as the entire scene is highly detailed. Taking away from the complexity of the buildings, the viewer can focus their attention on the sky. The perspective wasn't successfully observed, though it is unimportant for this piece of work. This image has a nice composition, drawing attention to the tall building on the right side of the image with the help of shading - all other buildings are darker and have less detailing. The edges of the hills in the background are also nicely observed and hinted in an impressionistic manner, creating an implied line that guides the viewer's eye across the entire drawing. Short, thick strokes with different shades of grays successfully captured the essence of the cloudy dark sky. A nice aspect of this drawing is the fact that it seems to suggest movement of the clouds.
This drawing is not perfect by any means though, and it might have benefited more from using different drawing materials, as markers seem to not be the best choice when dealing with skies. If this is the case, pastels or charcoal might have been a better option. The scene also seems incomplete, as the drawing doesn't have clear edges.
