Line Drawing Teapigs Book of Tea cityscapes from around the world celebrated

Teapigs a well know Tea Brand asked to commission a set of 6 cityscape illustrations for their new book publication dedicated to tea. Each of the cityscape illustrations showed: Landmarks or key characteristics of the different regions/cities in the chapter. Each chapter looks at a number of different countries and their recognisable landmarks from a number of different countries in one cityscape. 

The Landmarks of the cities were individually drawn with a black fine liner ink pen and composed with the other chosen landmarks to illustrated a detailed skyline for the chapter headings for the Teapigs book. The colour was added to the drawings as a fill to help differentiate the landmarks from one and another.

The Tea-related images- references to the tea information are covered in each relating chapter. The tea-related elements were also illustrated amongst the architecture/landscape for example teacup peeking out behind the gherkin.  The 6 cityscape illustrations and elements were broken down as follows,

The cityscape illustrations were quite intense pieces of work, I am glad they were well received by the client.
