Manchester Central Library and Tram – A Vector Drawing by Chaz Newton-Smith

This vector-style digital drawing by Chaz Newton-Smith captures the iconic Manchester Central Library alongside one of the city’s distinctive yellow trams. Created entirely by hand using Adobe Fresco, the artwork blends precision with expression, offering a modern take on a familiar cityscape.

The library’s grand, circular architecture is rendered with clean curves and subtle tonal variation, while the tram provides a dynamic contrast—bold, bright, and in motion. Together, the elements reflect both Manchester’s historical weight and its fast-paced modern life.

Because the artwork is a vector, it can be printed at any scale without losing quality—from small framed pieces to large-format installations. This makes it ideal for collectors, interior designers, or anyone wanting a statement piece that celebrates the city in a fresh, contemporary way.

Chaz’s use of digital tools doesn’t come at the cost of personality. Instead, it adds a layer of accessibility and technical depth to his work. His ability to combine architectural structure with expressive mark-making sets his style apart in the UK digital art scene.

This drawing is part of a growing collection that focuses on urban life in Manchester and Stockport, capturing the everyday beauty of northern cities through a digital, yet deeply human, lens.
