In this video I share my tips for improving your architectural drawing technique. I’ll walk you through a detail sketch, a basic section sketch and then transition into a few of my CAD working drawings to illustrate how a simple toolset can produce a range of drawings.
Important concepts discussed:
- Lineweight (and the pens I use)
- Atmospheric perspective
- Drawing technique
- Corners
- Iteration
- Foreground, middle-ground, and background
- The ’squint’ test
- Shade shadow
- Entourage ( , , )
In the end, it’s not about copying my drawing style or anyone else’s. It’s about developing your own and the best way to do that is by seeking out the architectural drawings you like and try and duplicate their results. Study their commonalities, how do they differ from the way you draw? Some of my favorites are found in the Detail in Contemporary Residential architecture books or Detail magazines…all the German stuff.
