Learn fundamental drawing techniques to create hand-drawn architectural sketches and bring them to life in Photoshop with color and texture
Grabbing a pencil and sketchbook on-the-go to capture the essence of the surrounding architecture allows you to be in the present moment. However, bringing those sketches to life in Photoshop is something architect David Drazil does best. In this online course, he’s here to show you how to draw striking architectural sketches and enhance them digitally with vivid detail.
As the founder of Sketch Like An Architect, a project dedicated to reviving the art of drawing by hand with over 233K followers, David takes you step by step through drawing techniques and post-production methods to create stunning illustrations.
Meet David Drazil, a Czech architect, and your teacher for this course. Hear about his creative journey, which has led him to work in architectural firms in Copenhagen and to start “Sketch Like an Architect” online. Then hear about his influences and sources of inspiration.
First, begin by defining what makes a good sketch. David walks you through composition, perspective, design principles, and color theory. Then see some good examples of architectural drawings.
Next, develop your sketch while paying close attention to the drawing fundamentals learned previously. Time to digitize on Photoshop! David shows you how to clean up the image, add colors, textures, and the final touches.
