A video, a story, and some good news

​Hi Reader, -- David here from SketchLikeAnArchitect.com​ 3 things for you before the weekend - a new video on drawing people, a personal story about rejections, and community wins from your peers. 1/ My new YouTube video is quietly becoming one of my most-watched videos this year (50,000+ views and counting), so clearly I'm not the only one who used to avoid drawing people. Simple Way to Draw People (w/o Learning Anatomy)👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqyNqGy6Xo0​ If you’ve ever avoided drawing people because it felt too hard, too technical, or too “not my thing” - this video is for you. 2/ The real story behind Sketch Like an ArchitectI also wrote something more personal. Most people see the 300,000+ community and the courses today. What they don't see is the 100+ rejections that came first. I shared the whole story on the blog - why I started, what nearly stopped me, and how a few stubborn line drawings turned into a community of sketchers from all over the world. 👉 Read it here: Why I Started Sketch Like an Architect​ If you've ever doubted whether your sketching (or your ideas) are "good enough," I think this one will land. 3/ Community wins from your peersReading these is my favorite part of the job. Every one of them started exactly where you might be sitting right now.    A lot of this cheering and sharing happens inside our free Skool community too - people sharing their sketches, asking questions, and rooting for each other. If you'd like that kind of company while you sketch, come join us: 👉 https://www.skool.com/sketch-like-an-architect​ Have a great weekend and as always - happy sketching,

Hi Reader, -- David here from SketchLikeAnArchitect.com This Monday we wrapped up the Urban Sketching Retreat in Prague - a week-long experience of sketching my home city with my good friend Alán Ramiro from See The Lines. 9 sketchers from around the world, 2 instructors, and sketchbooks everywhere. I'm writing this on Friday and I'm still sorting through all the photos, sketches, and memories. Here are my favorite moments from the week. We sketched a different spot every day. Letná Park. Old...
Hi Reader, -- David here from SketchLikeAnArchitect.com I’m writing this on my way to London for the ATN Influence Day. A conference bringing together some of the most popular architecture influencers. A full day of talks, panels, and meeting online friends in person. And I’ll be honest. I still can’t believe I get to do this.(I’ll be sharing my experience on Instagram Stories over the weekend) A few years ago, I was sending out job applications in Copenhagen, Denmark. Over 100 rejections. No...
Hi Reader, -- David here from SketchLikeAnArchitect.com Being a professional over-thinker, I have a love-hate relationship with this time of the year. Review - reflect - plan - prioritize - be grateful - scratch that new idea - doubt yourself - burn everything down? - start all over - “don’t forget to get some rest, too” - and repeat… Do YOU do yearly recaps? Looking back, reflecting, seeing what went well and what not so much? If you have any favourite process, tool, or resource for such...
