We'll build one drawing from basic shapes
The Guggenheim looks complicated. It isn't once you know how to look at it.
Here's the exact path we'll take together, live.
See it before you draw it
Break the whole building down into a few big shapes, so you always know where the first mark goes.
Ground the image
A little practical perspective to give the building a place to stand.
Create depth with values
Light, shadow and simple hatching that turn flat outlines into something with form and depth.
You're curious about drawing but a blank page feels impossible to begin.
You want to make something by hand and step away from the screen for a while.
You love New York's architecture and want to finally get a piece of it down on paper.

Hi, I'm Vi.
I've been drawing this city for twenty-five years. As an art director, an illustrator, and mostly as someone who needed a reason to slow down in a very fast place.
Pen and ink is my medium because it's permanent. No undoing, no hiding mistakes, just a record of the moment you spent paying attention. This free lesson is a small piece of exactly how I work.
Come see if my way of drawing feels like yours.
