Artist Benjamin Sack's city sketches are so intricate that they appear endless. Each sketch boasts inked cityscapes of places from all over the world and places he just came up with in his imagination.

The talented creative uses a fine 0.05 Staedtler pigment liner to draw artwork and does not stray from using the exact same pen until the ink is completely finished so that he does not hinder his work. He will then do the same for the next pen and so on. He continues the process for several months until his work is complete.

Seeing how long his drawings take, they can range up to lengths of 13 ft. They are fascinating and are the perfect artwork for architecture and geography enthusiasts to get lost in.
