ARCHITECTURAL ILLUSTRATION AND

TRADITIONAL DRAFTMANSHIP

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Liam Hipple is an illustrator based in Hampshire in the UK. Liam is best known for his architectural illustrations which cover a broad range of styles and subjects from Cathedral facades to sweeping aerial views of entire cities. Liam’s choice of medium is ink on watercolour paper utilizing crosshatching and bold line work to create his unique and recognizable style. Liam’s working style of traditional draftsmanship with emphasis on perspective and capturing every architectural detail which is then portrayed through the relationship of shadow and light is how he approaches every project.

His unique style and ambitious subject matter such as Piazza Del Duomo, Florence which captures the Cathedral from an aerial view with every architectural detail meticulously rendered initially led to his recognition and success online.

Since then Liam has continued to explore his style and continues to push his style to new levels. Liam has worked with a wide range of clients creating illustrations for the Vatican Postal museum, 1820 Italian Gastronomy society, Capital prints London, Yale University and more recently illustrations for the book Escape From Kabul written by Levison Wood and Geraint Jones, published by Hoddor books.

Currently Liam continues his partnership with Capital Prints London and Yale university creating unique aerial view illustrations of the various collages. Along side this he also peruses his own projects such as the miniature city series and recreating renaissance Italy’s iconic facades most recently the Doge’s Palace in Venice

Yale College Etchings

Since 2021 Liam has been working alongside Capital Print’s London and Yale University and fellow artist Andrew Ingamells, creating aerial view illustrations of the various colleges at Yale University in Connecticut. This involves creating drawings depicting the selected college in rich detail from an elevated perspective. This project is unique as it’s directly inspired by David Loggan’s engravings of Cambridge from the 17th century.

With Loggan’s works in mind and the final product being an etching this requires a slightly modified approach when applying the crosshatching. Beginning with vertical lines to horizontal lines with the diagonal hatching being last. This approach allows for consistency and control over the negative space between the lines which is vitally important when the etching is hand watercoloured.

So far Liam has drawn Trumbull college and Jonathan Edwards college with others to follow.

In 2019 I was commissioned by the Vatican City Postal Museum to create a unique design for the 50th anniversary of the Saints Peter and Paul Association established in 1971by St. Paul VI. The initial concept was to capture St. Peter's Baldachin thelarge Baroque sculpted bronze canopy which is in the center of St Peter’s Basilica.
