Here is my 4:1 drawing of the Aon Center in Chicago:

It took about two hours to do.

...Of course, the resize wasn't as good.

Well, let's try a blown-up modified version from the west:

The first image is very good. I would only suggest a little bit of detail or shading on the lobby windows and a bit more distinction between the left cut corner and the main body.

Yeah, I think you're right. If I remember, it was about 3 or 4 pixels too thin, but I couldn't fix it w/o screwing up the drawing.

Very sharp and crisp, I like it, there's detail too!

Okay, I was bored, so I thought I'd tinker with the Aon Center a bit. What do you think?:

It looks nice, but the left side is a little bland. I think you need to make the top left window section part darker(to correspond with the dark parts on the right, and to do the same with the middle part). It will stand out a lot better then. Of course...you may not be able to see them from that perspective.....so...

I just checked a photo, and actually you can just barely see that those parts are slightly darker...so maybe you could drop the brightness in those left window areas by just a slight amount.

Just a suggestion....I think your diagram is the most superior Aon Center to date.

I was wondering if they were a little too light. I'll try and fix that here. Thanks for the suggestion.:)
