I’ve Been Missing New York City After Moving Out, So I Drew 12 Of My Favorite Places There

I moved out of NYC in October 2018 because I wanted more space and a yard, and to not pay a million dollars.

Since moving, I have been seriously missing it so I drew all my favorite places. Everyone has their own version of NYC, and this was/is mine.

None of your favorite places has people in it! Do you miss the crowds?

Amazing illustrations!! I love em. I'm not a fine-artist, but definitely can appreciate it. May I just know how these are made? Do you use a pad, or are they handrawn?

Thank you! I drew these on my iPad using the Procreate App.

These are very cool! Wonder what medium she used? And how she chose the colors - mostly red, but not all.

Hi - thank you! I drew these all on my iPad. I knew I was going to be doing a series so I picked the colors based on the 3 I illustrated first. These were Professor Thoms, The Milton & Bleecker Street Pizza.
