Illustration Friday - Suburban Sky line



I was walking home from a bike ride with my children. We turned down the street and I saw my suburban skyline ahead of me. House after almost identical house, close together. Cars parked. Yards empty. Big sky framing it all. Now that I think about it, I probably should have elongated the illustration and duplicated more of the same...



Ah! I think that's better!

This is a feel-good scene...even though the houses are the same, each one seems to have a personality. I defintely like the longer horizontal view...it creates a stroonger skyline.

I like the contrast between sketchy burbs and the realistic sky.
