I first did a two minute sketch of the basic structure of the building. I used a orange Pilot FriXion erasable highlighter pen so that I could later erase the setup lines using a hair dryer. The ink from this pen disappears with heat and re-appears with cold.
Next I drew on top of the setup lines. I started using a yellow ochre colored pencil, but soon switched to using a Zebra disposable brush pen with a fine felt tip and black ink.
I then erased the setup lines with a hair dryer.
The colored lines you see are the colored pencil lines I started drawing before switching to ink.
Finally I finished with colored pencil.
It's remarkable how just a few well placed setup lines can speed up the process and make such a world of difference in the finished sketch.
