I don't have any pictures of the base. I'll make it taller.

Lilton- I have no clue. :???: Anyone else having the same problem?

Sweeeeeeet ;)

[LMich]

I like the new one, but I have my usual suggestion. The vetical lines aren't really 2m apart and the lines 1m, are they? All that needs to be done is to blend them into the facade better. Glass buildings are usually best done in 2:1. I mean, you're going to get a blur, but it looks much more realistic. Your can even do this in 1:1 and then just shrink it down by a few pixels.

Hi Buck, can I make some suggestions?

I would say that your Transam. Pyramid is too wide and the top is not high enough in compartisation to the rest of the building.

And the rooftop of the Park Tower is too wide, look here:

http://www.wausauwindow.com/groupB/projectgallery/images/hyatt_450.jpeg

[Buck]

You're Right, Thanks! :) I noticed that about my Transamerica the other day and I am going to fix it today. I will fix both now.

I would say, they are perfect! :tup:

[Buck]

Wow!! :) Thanks Jörn!!

[Joern M]

Hi again,

your Park Tower is now in the primary.

But about the Transam. Pyramid my last reply was a bit too fast. It is still some meters too wide in my opinion. And also the braces at the ground level could be more massiv. The top is very good, also the color. If you could change these things, than it would also be a primary drawing. :D

[Buck]

Okay, I'll work on it a little more. I appreciate your critiquing. I really want this one to make the primary. I'm very proud of it. :)

[LMich]

Yeah, it really is thinner:

[Buck]

Oh, I'm so happy with how it's turned out so far, I figure I'll just post the whole thing. Keep in mind though, I still have the base and the mall to draw, and this is scaled. I'm drawing it at 2:1 as I do all my drawings.

[Kirk]

Very nice, Buck. I think your technique has really improved...and that's saying a lot. You've got a great command of colour.

Thank You, Kirk. :)

Not too bad for being colourblind, heh? :)

Westin Peachtree Plaza, Atlanta GA:

Comments are welcome.

[Kirk]

OK, I don't know a whole lot about this building, and I know it's been a super-controversial one in the past, so I'm hesitant to approve this with my limited knowledge.

So I'll leave it for someone else.

However, in my own personal opinion, that is flat-out excellent. Absolutely beautiful rendering of the glass. I'm very impressed, Buck.

[Jai-C]

Here is one of my favourites I've done and maybe one of my best.

Westin Peachtree Plaza, Atlanta GA:

http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=253&drawingID=22276

Comments are welcome.

Oh yes that's definitely one of your best drawings! I think it was nearly perfect if the glass wasn't that bluish - with reduced saturation it will look even better.

[Buck]

Thanks guys! Jai-C, I played around with the saturation a bit and settled on that one. Some days though, it actually is that blue. It all depends on the sky, really.

[LMich]

I've always wanted to redraw my version of the Westin Peachtree, but could never find any good photos of the base/

Anyway, excellent job, Buck! It really is one of your best. I really like these circular towers seeing as how I drew this one, the RenCen, and the Adams Mark in Memphis.

[Buck]

Thanks Lilton!

Yeah, I really like circular towers too. I might look into drawing more of them.

[Cesar]

Buck, your last drawing is awasome :eek:, I think is one of your best ones, I love the glass effect.

Good job :)

Fancy. Residential, right?

Yup, residential with Street-level retail.

Westin Peachtree Plaza is great!

[LeeWilson]

These are all great drawings you're doing here. If I could make one tiny suggestion though...the second Chinese character looks kind of like you've cut it in two...its left side is too far away from the rest of it. Move it over a bit to the right and it's pretty much perfect.

[Buck]

Thanks Sam & Lee. :)

Sears Tower, Chicago IL:

http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=5&drawingID=22532

[James Raymond]

The Sears Tower is very nice, but the antennae need to be flipped. The western antenna is taller than the east.:)

[Buck]

Thanks, James. :) I will fix it if my photoshop will ever work. :mad:

[James Raymond]

One other thing I just noticed was that on the second-tallest set of tubes (the ones that go up to ~92nd floor), only the outermost-facing facades have the black panelling on them. The south tube only has the black panelling on the southern facade and the east tube's is on the eastern facade. The other facades of those tubes are just glass and the extremely narrow bracing all the way to the top. Otherwise, good job.:)

[Buck]

Ah, yes! Thank You very much for pointing that out. :)

Also new for today, I have decided that I am going to work on drawing new diagrams to replace some of my old & awful diagrams. So for a while, I will probably be doing that more than I will be drawing new buildings. At least, thats what I plan on doing.

I am starting with...

Wells Fargo Center, Denver CO:

http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=137&drawingID=22546

It is replacing this monstrosity:

http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=137&drawingID=3364

:yuck:

[James Raymond]

Pretty good, but way too pink! Also, the crown needs a little help. The top of the northern curve isn't directly across from the bottom of the southern curve. I see someone noticed the trademark antenna, too!:D

[Buck]

I didn't notice that it was so pink! Sometimes I wonder why I am in illustrator seeing as I'm colourblind. :crazy:

I'll get to fixing it too.

[Buck]

Revised Wells Fargo Center, Denver CO:

http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=137&drawingID=22549

Is it still too pink? Its hard for me to tell.

[James Raymond]

A bit. It almost needs to be a tanish-pink.

[Buck]

[James Raymond]

Woohoo! Thanks for your help!

I've decided that in addition to replacing old diagrams, I will continue to draw more for Ireland, so there will be some new diagrams in addition to the replacements.

Yep. Ireland is a very under-represented country in terms of high-rises and architecture in general. I've been adding alot of information, pictures & diagrams lately.

Your revised Sears Tower is amazing!
The shading of the revised Wells Fargo Center is top-class! Ill skills you got there, mate. ;)

They are few and far between, but some of them are pretty cool. Ireland has some great proposals too.

[Buck]

Here is a fantasy building I designed for Dublin. It looks like a ripoff between the Swiss Re Tower & the old Freedom Tower design, but its really not. It's actually a spiral shape. Theres alot more to it than the diagram shows. :)

I love it! That's an excellent fantasy tower and looks like it would fit into let's say...London or somewhere in Germany, fine. You're really starting to motivate me to start drawing again.

[Jared]

wow, thats a great diagram!

[Gulcrapek]

Yar. It also looks like Torre Espana. (I think that's what it's called)
