City Skyline

Create a City Skyline Silhouette in Illustrator

Use Adobe Illustrator to design a silhouette of a cityscape (skyline).

Objective:

Create a stylized city skyline using only solid shapes (silhouette style). Focus on the outline of buildings and urban structures.

Instructions:

  • Design the skyline using vector shapes in black or another single color
  • You may include recognizable buildings, rooftops, towers, chimneys, etc.
  • As a foreground element, choose and design one of the following:
    • A body of water (river, lake, etc.)
    • A green area (park, meadow, trees)
    • A road or street (with or without vehicles)

Tips:

  • Work with different building heights and shapes to create an interesting skyline
  • Add details like trees, bridges, antennas, or small rooftop features
  • Use layering to create depth if desired, but keep the silhouette clear and clean
