It Took Me Over A Month To Complete This Detailed Manchester Cityscape

Self-taught cityscape artist Carl Lavia, aka Sketch, and project partner photographer Lorna Le Bredonchel are on a country-wide mission; Carl is attempting to sketch, in large-scale, every single city within the UK – together they aim to exhibit each cityscape within its city and eventually form one large exhibition of all 69 artworks to be shown in several spaces throughout the UK.

The Manchester cityscape is the second city in their ’69 Cities of The UK’ project. The sketch was completed using a mix of technical and BIC pens on archival paper – this 2m x 1.5m sketch is now on display in Manchester Central Library.
