My name is Vi, and I’m an artist based in Brooklyn, New York. I work primarily in pen and ink to create line, detail, and architectural form. My drawings are shaped by the structure, rhythm, and quiet complexity of the city, especially the small details that often go unnoticed.
Over the years, people have asked about my tools, my process, and how I achieve such precise detail using line alone. I created this course to answer those questions clearly and practically, and to share the techniques, workflows, and way of seeing that I use in my own architectural drawings.
This course is a distillation of my process: observing carefully, working slowly, and building drawings one line at a time. I hope the techniques and skills you learn helps inspire you to pick up the pen daily and love drawing as much as I do.
