New York City Illustration by Ximena Ballantyne in Auckland
New York City Illustration
This illustration was inspired by my love for New York and its iconic skyline. I wanted it to feel expressive, detailed, and a little raw, while still keeping the linework simple and elegant. I’m really drawn to architectural scenes like this because they let me capture both mood and place in a very personal way.
