It's a wonder how you draw! :)

So many of these cityscapes are flat. Your use of shadow and colour make this image look three-dimensional. Very nice indeed. Thank you.
#3: Kim (kjh) on Oct 7, 2013
Absolutely agree with lollipop, what a great drawing. Amazing what you can do with just a few colors and the limitations of the canvas. Great job and another fine wake up puzzle. Thank you!

Also agree with Lollipop. And Kim. I had a friend who came back from visiting in New York City with a stiff neck from looking up at all the tall buildings.

thank you, Thomas, for solving my puzzle :-)

thank you, lollipop! I really tried to create depth using color and dark spaces to indicate shadow. I have to mention a puzzle on this site that I solved recently - I can't remember who did it - it's a picture of the golden gate bridge and it's unbelievably good. It was kind of an inspiration for me to try city scenes.

thank you, kim! i'm happy that you enjoy waking up to my puzzles.

thank you norma! i'm like your friend -I couldn't stop looking up at the buildings.

hi aldege! thank you for the kudos:-)

It might be nice to see a city this size from the train but I don't think I would like to be in the middle of it. Another great puzzle!
#8: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Oct 8, 2013
just think Linda, how it would be to grow up there as I did.

hi susan - thank you for solving my puzzle :-). I did live in a very large city as a child, but have since acclimated to much smaller living. from the train, Chicago seemed innocuous, but waiting at the train station, which was a city in itself, was really overwhelming. and then to go outside - I was just amazed at the numbers of people, cars, etc.

tom - thank you for solving my puzzle, also. do you still live there? I do think the skyline is beautiful with the water right there. that's the one thing land-locked Colorado lacks- a large body of water. there's plenty of white water, but it would be nice to have a large lake and boating within my city.

I lived on the other side of Lake Michigan for 7 years. Very beautiful, plus we got all the lake effects snow. Yay, shoveling. /sarcasm
#15: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Oct 12, 2013
where Kristen...Benton harbor, St. Joe, Lake Michigan beach?
#16: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Oct 12, 2013
Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. We weren't ON the water, just within the snow band.
#17: Linda Martin (ilovethispuzzle123) on Oct 12, 2013

#18: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Oct 13, 2013
