One tip to instantly elevate your perspective drawings
Hi Reader, -- David here from SketchLikeAnArchitect.com
You know that I'm not an advocate for any "magic bullets" when it comes to learning any skill. I simply don't believe in shortcuts.
However, there's one thing in perspective drawing that can make instant radical difference if done right.
I'm talking about shading - bringing plasticity, contrast, and setting the atmosphere for your objects and scenes.
Only if there was just one way how to do it! There is a number of shading techniques when it comes to...
Constructing the shadows
- parallel shading (simplified)
-
non-parallel shading
- from the Sun (typically exterior)
- from artificial light (typically interior)
Rendering the shades & shadows
- technical shading (one or more layers of line hatching)
- value shading (gradients of tonal values)
Based on the past surveys, you've expressed interest in improving in both drawing and shading in perspective.
So I've been working on a number of new step-by-step tutorials on drawing both interior and exterior perspective views
and different shading techniques based on speed and complexity (we don't always have time to "bother" with precise and polished value shading).
And all of this new material will be included in the Sketch Like an Architect PDF Handbook.
And the good news?
It's a completely FREE update for you whether you purchased the Full Version, got it in the PDF Bundle or as a part of my beginner's course.
Tomorrow, I'll send you just a quick email to let you know once the update is available for you to download - watch out for it in your inbox ;)
Looking forward to hearing what you think about it!
Talk soon,

Hi Reader, -- David here from SketchLikeAnArchitect.com Don't know about you but I'm always a little anxious around this time of the year... I want to get closure on the year that's about to end... Sort through the gazillion ideas racing through my head... and forge them into great plans for the upcoming 12 months... while getting some rest at the sime time! 🤯 That being said, I've been wrapping up the 2024 for the last couple days and this is what I came up with... Probably not a perfect...

Hi Reader, -- David here from SketchLikeAnArchitect.com So, last Thursday - just before our last LIVE workshop - I found out by accident that my latest book has become a best-seller on Amazon.com!
