This is probably one of my favorite drawings I have ever done. New York City is something that i always marveled at, and wanted to visit. so it's only fitting for me to make a perspective value drawing of the city of my dreams.

Without his countless hours of studying the world around him, I believe that we would not be able to make art as amazing as we do today. I also chose a man by the name of Stephen Wiltshire. He is honestly truly amazing. he was diagnosed with being on the spectrum of autism, and he did not let even that hold him back from making some of the most intricate drawings of city scapes that you will ever see.
