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,

Then there were the conversations β the kind you can only have in person. The hallway chats. The...

We were 12 sketchers + 2 instructors, exploring my beautiful city with sketchbooks in hand.And to be honest... Iβm still riding the creative high from it all. My personal highlight?Day 4 - we were sketching a bridge from an island in the middle of the Moldau. There was live music nearby, we were in...
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! π€― That being said, I've been wrapping up the 2024 for the last couple days and this is what I came up with...
