Always a learning process. I thought by choosing a cityscape that was less complex it would be easier and faster to render. I was wrong, lesson learned. Turns out simplicity is more detailed oriented than a multi building cityscape. #sketchartist #drawingdaily #drawingeveryday #visualartist #pencildrawing #artist #art #artoftheday #graphitedrawing #cityscapes #nycartist #realism #iloveminimalart #photorealism #newyorkcityskyscapper (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTiCykUrZmW/?utm_medium=tumblr

A large part of creating art is the thought process. What was the artist’s intent? Does the subject, materials used and process reflex that intent? The idea that artists just slap some paint on a canvas without thinking about it is false. I had a professor who thought about what and how to paint for a year before putting paint to canvas. Her work is amazing. . This is Ad Reinhardt in his study. #thinkbeforeyouact #artists #artistsoninstagram #thoughtprocess #conceptart #theprocess #sketchartist #drawingdaily #drawingeveryday #visualartist #pencildrawing #artist #art #artoftheday #graphitedrawing #cityscapes #nycartist #realism #iloveminimalart #photorealism https://www.instagram.com/p/CR_4GmyrAwS/?utm_medium=tumblr

“The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think.

One of my favorite skyscrapers in New York City is The New York by architect Frank Gehry. . New York by Gehry is the first New York City residential commission for architect Frank Gehry. Rising 870 feet above lower Manhattan, the 76-story building is one of the tallest residential towers in the Western Hemisphere. Gehry reinterpreted the traditional New York high rise and the structure stands out against neighboring buildings with its distinctive exterior façade. The skyscraper features curved stainless steel cladding that resembles vertical ripples, making it an iconic addition to the New York City skyline. . But not everyone is in love with the structure. It’s been the ugliest building in NYC by some. To each his own. . #happyfeelings #happypeople #60andfabulous #60shadesofgrey #60plusandfabulous😘 #visualartist #pencildrawing #artist #art #artoftheday #ilovenyc #nyc #nycliving #cityscapes #nycartist #realism #iloveminimalart #newyorkcityskyscapper #modernart #happypeople #happythoughts #beautifulpeople #beautifullife❤️ (at New York by Gehry) https://www.instagram.com/p/CREkPoCjWDN/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am going back in and correcting some perspective lines. I enjoy human error in artwork but mishaps that take away from the image got to go. #happyfeelings #happypeople #pricelessmoments #oureverydaymoments #momentum #60andfabulous #60shadesofgrey #60plusandfabulous #sketchartist #drawingdaily #drawingeveryday #visualartist #pencildrawing #artist #art #artoftheday #ilovenyc #nyc #nycliving #graphitedrawing #cityscapes #nycartist #realism #iloveminimalart #photorealism #newyorkcityskyscapper #modernart #happypeople #happythoughts #beautifulpeople #beautifullife (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRHAPc1Deea/?utm_medium=tumblr
