Before you learn how to draw A City, did you know?

Back in the day, mankind had only tiny shelters to hide from the rain, the snow, the cold weather and the predators. Then, we learned how to build houses made of wood and stone. That’s when the villages became a big part of our lives. What came next was even bigger.

A modern-day “concrete jungle” looks nothing like the very first cities: we’ve got pavements, parks, and, of course, huge skyscrapers that house thousands of people. In every country around the world, cities are the centers of everything.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
