'These drawings are by architectural draftsman Hugh Ferriss . His work is really incredible and demonstrates a fantastic imagination (not to mention patience). I prefer the style of the lighter, more detailed images, but I enjoyed the story behind the last few charcoal renderings. They are from The Metropolis of Tomorrow, where Ferriss imagined what a future megacity might look like. Delineator of Gotham indeed.
I recommend looking through this epic Flickr set to see more of his work.'

I found these images by Hugh Ferris on Iso50 blog and what I like about them is their use of charcoal. They remind me off a couple of charcoal drawings of mine. I feel a strong sense of atmosphere about them and I like what Alex writes about in his blog, stories in the drawings and the combination of imagination and patience.
