Townscape Illastrator

This is the image what I have have decided to use in illustrator because of the angles of the buildings.






















I have used a pen tool for the outline

I have used a series of paints like normal paint and a gradients for the paints for the shade. On the image i have used different line effects for the bricks its was tricky because I wanted it to look like bricks but with a tiny effect.

This is what it looks like without the background 

This is my patterns I did not like using a pattern technique because it's kind of tricky ],
