How can i develop a sketch of the lattice and reciprocal lattice from vector form

a=i+4j
b=3i

i know how to draw the wigner site cell, but I am having problems developing a sketch from vectors.
what is the method for working it out..please help

I have one question.
Why for construct reciprocal lattice we must exchange non-bravies lattice to a bravies lattice?
