The ONLY Perspective Drawing Hack You Need to Know...
|
βHi Reader, -- David here from SketchLikeAnArchitect.comβ Drawing repetitive elements in perspective (think columns, arches, pillars, windows, electric poles...) feels impossible freehandβ¦ itβs very hard to get it precise intuitively! π² But what if I told you architects use one simple trick to get it right every time β even without a ruler?
This new video is a short snippet from a recent support webinar for the students in the Perspective Drawing Made Easy course. Worksheets mentioned in the video can be found in my second Sketch Like an Architect (e-)book on Perspective Drawing - grab a copy or download a free sample below so you can follow the exercises:
My students always love when we simplify complex perspective drawing into easy-to-digest concepts but don't take my word for it. For easier navigation, feel free to jump around using these time-stamps from the new Youtube video: β0:00 - Repetition in Perspective Isn't Intuitiveβ Is "guesstimating" good enough in perspective drawing? What happens when I try to eyeball it in perspective π Watch me Fail Hereβ Spoiler alert: we're not hard-wired to guess depth in perspective correctly and why using a simple construction goes a long way... Hope you'll find it useful - if you do, please share the video with a friend who'd appreciate it as well! Cheers and Happy sketching,

Hi Reader, -- David here from SketchLikeAnArchitect.com Iβm 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 Iβll be honest. I still canβt believe I get to do this.(Iβll 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...
