Whew, done.
I did a kinda rushed job, so some of the buildings look a little wonky. Sorry bout that.
so, the main idea as you can probably tell is to draw this 3d sphere with gridlines across it. This whole thing has a LOT of guessing, unless you use a compass. There are 3 main vanishing points that I used here, although you can use all 5 points if you want to draw a full 360 degree view. But since I only used one quarter of the circle I only needed the 3 points there.
All horizontal lines go to one of the vanishing points on the horizon.
All vertical lines go towards the center point.
Step 1: draw the circle and divide it into four
Step 2: make the markings (these should technically get smaller and smaller the closer they get to the outer edge, but I didn't do that here cause I was lazy :P)
Step 3: the curves... I did this with photoshop and even then I didn't find it that easy, If you want to do it by hand I suggest using a compass or something.
Step 4 and 5: I picked a square to draw my first cube (you don't have to use a square, as long as it follows the general flow of the grid) then draw the vertical lines from the center point through the four corners of the square.
Step 6: The tops of the buildings are a little tricky imo. I just kinda guessed (still following the general flow of lines).
Lines going left and right go to the side point
Lines going up and down go to the top point
Step 7: just more of the same stuff, drawing more cubes, trying to make different shapes. The vertical lines of the city in the distance should point towards the central vanishing point, but other than that, you don't have to worry about perspective for it.
Step 8: rotate the picture so that it's facing upwards (you probably want to start by drawing it the right way, unlike me)
hope that helps!

I had another question: I don't really know how to ink too well, drawing with straight pencil. What kind of pen should I use to get those manga-like lines?

I have no idea honestly, I never use pens. sorry.

How long have you been creating?

u mean drawing? er, doing art? about ... 10-15 years?
