How to draw curves like an architect

[@imwithstupid086]

That spring arc curve ruler. Now words. Just... no words. Absolutely badass.

[@howtoarchitect]

there's no information regarding the curve radii on my french curves nor have I ever seen any. I would imagine that because it's such a dense combination of true curves in such a small location it would be close to impossible:) All the best!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Sir, you are an outstanding instructor! Thankyou for sharing!

[@WardyLion]

While my realm is "wannabe graphic artist" rather than architect, this vid is of rather a lot of use so thanks for taking the time to share your wisdom! Wardy

[@Peeremoghan]

This is great. I need to know more about using the french curves. specially using them to do the drafting of the Arabic calligraphy work for final works.

[@desertrose0601]

Very fun! I am a graphic design student and we use a lot of these same things. It was fun to hear your narrated version of what each things is for though. ;)

[@justCommando]

you can cut down trees with it haha, that ruler WAS bad ass!

[@lochlanabdullah5937]

Sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me!

@Lochlan Abdullah Instablaster =)

[@lochlanabdullah5937]

@Jack Maxwell I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@lochlanabdullah5937]

@Jack Maxwell it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out :D

[@jackmaxwell2302]

@Lochlan Abdullah Happy to help :D

[@MegaTregg]

A well made video-not always a common thing

[@tracktaine]

where do you buy your tools from for drawing. That acu-arc thing is very bad ass by the way.

[@andresisthename]

I see you use a compass as your avatar, I think that's very cool, the compass is my favorite drawing tool, I don't know why but maybe is because of the elegance of this simple but handy tool, the way we relate to them as tool for engineers, designers, architects, concept artist, and mathematicians. I have many compasses; a small 5 inch Helix one with its own universal adapter, a 4inch Rotring Bow with a ruling pen part attached, a Staedtler 552 with Universal adapter, and a Rotring Centro bow!

[@user-fg2me]

1:49 what are they called and where can you get one

[@OrignialLostintheFifthcorner]

ACU-ARC ruler on Amazon about $70

[@andarks]

Hello sir, If you have extra time, could you please make a tutorial on how to use that Acu-arc adjustable ruler that you showed? The one "to cut trees". I got one today, but I understand the calibrations thing. Thanks in advance! Great videos! You inspire me to become an architect, and I learn from you how to express more appropriately about buildings.

[@Neeeeeefi]

this was equally fun as it was educational i loved it haha

[@brettknoss486]

What was the name of that green spring arc tool?

[@ValioMadre7]

I call it chingadara.

[@SchalauTheLA]

Oh my god, I must now where you got that spring loaded acuarc! I have so many trees that need chopping down, and then I could draw some nice curves on the side

[@TheWayToWaffles]

What kind of compass are you using, i need one this year and yours looks pretty good.

[@howtoarchitect]

@chrisSsecret yea. your right. I guess I default to words I used as a kid:)

[@Pierzakowo]

Could you post a vid on how to use the French curves? The radii flow smoothly into one another and it's quite hard for me to envision how they are used in practice (and what they are best for).

[@a7ibnee]

please can you suggest for us some architectural books and talk about it

[@andarks]

OOOOOHHHH!!!! What was the name of that spring loaded ???? The green one at 1:50 That is something I didn't know about.

[@LuisFrost]

Where did you get the small acu arc?

[@bennymcfarlane]

fantastic presentation!!

[@bennymcfarlane]

I bought a $1.99 compas - my reasoning was that I had been considering making one of my own, and anything purchased would have been better than something I made... I was probably wrong. Dangit. Now I've gotta wait till my next trip into town.

[@SoundwavePilot]

Were those drawings below the template at 0:44 just something abstract...random...?

[@stillpunk88]

Forget what they are saying, you are awesome.

[@PsykickOFtime]

Can I use protractor?

[@kthomp55]

What is the name of that very long compass.

[@MaestroAlvis]

That acue-arc is indeed totally bad ass. Must have been a funny image to see you trying to cut down a tree with it.

[@dragonology294]

where did u get that spring ruler!!?? i have to get one of those!!! (nyehehehehe.. evil laugh..)

[@hazmatac]

I liked the cut down trees joke. Nice.

[@nice4ever100]

@PsykickOFtime depends on the curve u wanna draw

[@howtoarchitect]

@wrtbupoh2t491 it's also free. send me your video when its done and we'll compare notes and thanks for the comment.

[@TheWotah]

I like your sence of humour.

[@igotabeefpastry]

FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY.

[@keithkemper2731]

Abbie McCracken and

[@gadisha]

ahaha somehow you motivated me to start my architectural drawings :) thanks! and subscribed :)

[@AsurorusA]

i always use that kind of compass .. with a screw in the middle

[@extremeclimax]

thx...ur tips really helpful!!

[@LambentLark]

You need some longer, in depth videos. The short ones are great but, I would like to know how to get my 2d plan and 2d elevations into a nice isometric cover drawing. Sometimes clients and investors can't see what i see in the plans and elevations. I know this is easily done in Acad. (If you know how to use the software. Otherwise plan to be bald) but I don't have $5,000 to be $12,000 to spend on a seat right now. If I can get a few new skills I would have the tools to get some investor interested, then I can get Acad. The designs I am doing will have odd curves and shapes and angles. I need to learn how to represent the buildings in isometric. So, it's like figuring out how to draw Gaudi's Casa Batllio from the arcitectual drawings. Only on a much smaller scale. I am really good at building on to skills with a bit of tutorial. I'm having a hard time finding an in depth one though. I may be using the wrong nomenclature or maybe this is a wide open niche. . . Just sayin, I'd watch. I can't be alone.thanks for the vid. Gimme more! Lol

[@brae2248]

1:50 I need one of those

[@elgrossjr940]

x2

[@reytard2092]

I feel like this video should be renamed hey look at all the awesome crap that I have to make circles with.

[@FA_Homes]

How to make curve ruler

[@tracktaine]

thank you!

[@ArielMao]

I WANT ALL YOUR TOOLS!!!

[@babbar123]

loved it

[@sammelief1]

nice

[@draftersecret]

good video

[@Moroboi]

no templetes were harmed in the making of this video.

[@JoregeMw]

necesito una de esas hachas :O'''' i need one of these ax x)

[@marioa5063]

lol you are funny and i love all your videos :)

[@dicktsui1818]

I was prepared that you will only say template template and more template and then the acuarc appears.

[@swallowedinthesea11]

i don't need devices. i'm going to draw perfect circles like Kahn. [lol, j/k]

[@butnothingchanges]

I love the bit at 1:49 "totally badass" haha

[@Sambeeeer]

1:53 lol

[@Crucizer]

and 5 years later, you got your second like.

[@aamaagii]

You need to delete that space

[@motherspitchfork]

There are no tutorials on French Curves...you can be the first. Show us how to use them.

[@TheArtsyArtist]

Your both funny and informational xD lol

[@wadexism]

Totally badasss!! xD

[@romeliapolly2520]

Woodglut has very good and accurate plans.

[@laxwork]

one pen is enough! nothing more!

[@Khamomil]

Regrettably many drawing implements for common public use are of such poor quality they would disgust most from trying again. Part of education should be about how to buy quality tools and how to use them. Found some architect and artist's things online at "misterart" discount store.

[@SCUBONZIES]

your cool beans :)

[@bobayersquebec]

HO NO OMG 4 THE REST OF ETERNITY ??? WHAT THE FUK I GONNA DO 4 THE REST OF MY LIFE ???

[@seahawk124]

AutoCAD = FTW
