Different Kinds of City Silhouettes

With a manner of presentation that is quite limiting, you might think that you won’t get much from this collection of city silhouettes. (For those of you who want something more on the fawny side of things, these Deer Silhouettes may be just what you’re looking for!) But stick around for a bit, and let me talk you through the several variants available just for you here.

• Light and Shade

The artist of “Big City Silhouette” actually took things a step further by adding in highlights, using the “light” shade to mimic how natural light typically hits certain areas from a particular angle. This in turn produces a kind of 3D effect.

• Good Old Standard

In “City Night Silhouette,” you get the good old industry standard of city silhouettes while “Download City Silhouette” is more of a cartoony take and with tiny white squares to depict the lit-up “rooms” in the buildings.

• Lovely Layering

“Urban City Silhouette” takes city silhouettes in general on a whole different level. With the varying tones of blue, the artist provided depth and dimension by supplying several planes (two in the middleground).

• Minimalist

You also have the non-imposing yet still beautiful ones like “City Silhouette Vector,” “American City Silhouette,” and “City Skyline Silhouette.”

• Bold, Bright Backdrop

Then there are ones with the punchy backgrounds like “City Landscape Silhouette” and “City Outline Silhouette.”
