Brooklyn Bridge - pencil drawing

The drawing series goes on today with a spectacular view from the American continent: the Brooklyn Bridge, whose outstanding view has become a symbol for the New York City. 

 

Among the oldest suspension bridges in the United States, the Brooklin Bridge was completed in 1883. It connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River and was initially designed by German immigrant John Augustus Roebling.

 

The big size of the drawing (50x70 cm) and the great amount of details state reasons for its complexity. The drawing process took among 25 hours. The pencils used were HB and 4B. Enjoy the evolution below and stay tuned because there are more Dreams of an Architect to come!
