How to Draw Like an Architect

[@krug123]

There is so much internalized experience on display in this video, how every line and stroke are placed once, confidently, in correct perspective, just casually dropping those three columns in between the windows and they’re spot on, knowing exactly where the center of the ceiling is without having to construct it from intersecting diagonals, putting in room details like the fireplace and bookshelves and making pleasing choices about them on the fly, this video is a master class in seeing how the years of practice and experience become like reflexes.

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

Thank you! We're really trying to give a look into the process and am glad to know the details we didn't point out are still being communicated.

[@SuzetteSantori1]

Agreed. So much internalized experience! And "casually" is a great word for it! Really enjoyed. Inspiring

[@stevethomas4491]

​@@visbeenarchitectsinc I did a 7 year carpentry apprenticeship in 1970's and were taught Visal perspective/distortion, and to stand in the middle of a room and look up to the coving ,down to the skirting board and straight at the door architrave to determine which moulding suited the room size

[@schmoopyboopy]

For a non-architect, it was fascinating watching you create something fantastic in just a few minutes! Thanks for sharing.

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

Absolutely, thanks for watching! We love the process and find a lot of inspiration and beauty in it, it's great to hear we can share that with people.

[@Bananaaana]

I’ve been scared to even start sketches as a Highschool student wanting to go into architecture but you’ve explained it perfectly so much as to give me confidence to start thank you 🎉

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

That's fantastic to hear, we're glad we could help!

[@aleysha4766]

Same it’s intimidating

[@Skezxus]

Having worked in the field I can tell you the the secret to drawing like an architect is on that shelf in the background

[@eleanorbastian8430]

Thank you for an amazing video. The confidence and depth of skill is awesome. Could watch a hundred of these. As an aspiring interior designer most grateful you have shared your talent.

[@MikeMayArt]

This is a better explanation than I typically give of how I design in 3D as a video game concept artist. I learned a LOT in a short time. Massive thanks for the lesson!!

[@awakeholic]

I love how you 'simply' draw things that I recognize and understand but would never think of myself! As someone who works in construction, it's always wonderful and fascinating to see someone work who can visualize stuff so good! Great video :)

[@RafterSkills]

It’s good to watch how an Architect dose these free hand drawing techniques, thanks for sharing!

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dhirajshetty483]

This is how an Artist works …. Love it

[@jadonnapuckett3398]

You have a wonderful way of presenting; a sense of elegance yet comfortable and approachable. I learned more from you in this one video than from watching hours from others. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

Glad it was helpful. We're trying to help break down the intimidation factor!

[@babekazimi]

Wow, glad that KZbin recommends you to me.

[@nickdelong7947]

Intentional or not the subtle artistic detail on the bookcase at @5:02 is the stroke of a master at work. Was so fast i almost missed it.

[@Jimmmeeeeyyy]

Glad i wasnt the only one that noticed that!😂

The hard drive's full. Leave em laughing...love it!

[@analysisonlight605]

The hard drive is full. 🤣I love it.

[@MrCodyTheArchitect]

Im studying architecture in college, a level 3 diploma and my weakness, my main weakness is drawing. This helped me a lot, teaching me there are no limits and drawing like this is all about freedom. Thank you!

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

Wow, there's not much higher praise we could get. So glad to hear that you were able to find more freedom to find your voice!

[@betheball1]

OMG I'm so bad at drawing/sketching but you make so simple ( though it's not) and understandable. So .Thank you for sharing.If you have an online course I would love enrol in it.

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

You're very welcome! We don't have a full course but we'll be participating in an online workshop in October, we'll be sharing details soon.

[@Rayan-j2l]

the hard drive is full hahaha love that

[@Mr_Squiggle]

Just the drawing skill is worth the watch.

[@StarshipTrooper2050]

Watching you draw the hanging light reminded me of drawing Peter Chris’ drum set back in JHS…used to love drawing his kit on my book covers made from brown paper bags…

[@betheball1]

Thank you for taking the time to reply.I look forward to the workshop in October.

[@stevenmonte7397]

I'm 55, my only regret was not finishing my Architecture degree (UTA - Martin Price was my studio professor). I ended up becoming a lawyer and leaving it. But I'm here and now pursuing my creative pursuits in music.

[@monikaazariah9237]

Lovely video...im an Architect too and I loved the flying pen part - could relate 😂

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

I'm glad you can relate, we almost cut that part but it felt too real to not keep it.

[@DogPrinctz]

Great technique. Great explanations. 😊 thank you for your video 🎉

[@Zeni-th.]

This great, Im not an architect or anything but Ive always liked how architecture drawings look, thanks for the vid!

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

That's fantastic to hear! Thanks for letting us know.

[@SoniaHeck]

I’ve been teaching myself to draw for the past year, I’ve seen some progress but not as much as I want. I am also learning build things in a technical college. One of the things I realized during the process of learning to build is that is so much more productive to have someone mentor you in person. Is it the same when it comes to drawing/ sketching? I have been looking for a in person class in my area but no luck yet. 🧐

[@jammuna1]

Love it, so much experience .

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kevinkerlin5603]

It looks so simple in the way you have drawn the sketch.

[@russhyn]

this is what true expertise looks like, they make it look so easy and effortless, but for the rest of us this would be challenging! And this is more than just an architect sketch, this is also interior design :)

[@grantrobertdavies]

Great Video!!! So interesting :) Thank You :) Very Helpful For Me Too as a Graphic Designer!!!

This is a great class I have to watch this about 10 times but I’m not an architect or student

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

[@lrodrigues.sketches]

Excellent class sir! “Love the flying pen part”

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

it was too good to leave out!

[@rickfazzini22]

So if someone doesn’t have a drop of artistic ability how crazy would it be for them to go college for architecture? Is having the ability to draw a prerequisite ? Thank you for sharing your talents and time I so appreciate it.

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

Artistic ability can be learned! Some people start with more of it built in and others have to work hard to make even simple improvements. The biggest prerequisite is that you love it enough to put in the work and stick with it.

[@apoorva745]

This was beautiful! I subbed instantly

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

Thanks for subbing!

[@FunAtDisney]

I need some of his whisky! But seriously…. When I took graphic & architectural design in high school in the 1970’s we learned all these valuable basics.

[@BigE30three]

Would love to know your drawing equipment… pens you love to sketch with, sketch pads, tracing pads, etc. have always loved your work and love getting this access to your creativity and thought process

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

Thanks for asking! The most utilized tools are pretty simple, a Bienfang trace paper pad, a Pilot Precise V7 pen, and a Sharpie. Glad to hear these videos are useful. Stay tuned, we'll be uploading our most comprehensive video on the process in January!

As an architect. This is a poor example of an architect. Louis Vuitton bag, various alcoholic beverages on the shelf, enormous amount of bracelets, etc…. What else can we flash at you in a single video. Hard to focus on the subject matter.

This is amazing I hope someday I get to reach to this level of experience. (I’m studying to be a landscape architect , but I also have a passion for interior design)🥹

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

If you're already doing it then all it takes is time!

[@terrystrong9787]

What about the black horse on the shelf

[@quakerninja]

Picasso is walking in his favorite park and a patron of the arts recognizes him "Mr Picasso, I am so honored can I commission from you a sketch" So he does and hands it over with a price tag. With a bit of sticker shock she ask Mr Picasso this is such a great honor, and I am happy to pay but there is maybe a mistake this price for such a short amount of time, it only took you a few moments. Without skipping a step He just says. No Madame it took me my whole life.

[@hyperyami396]

Can you teach me how to draw in general because right now I can't even move my own characters around let alone draw backgrounds, help... lol.

[@visbeenarchitectsinc]

Sounds like you're looking for help with animation, unfortunately that's beyond the scope of our expertise! The only insight we can offer is that it often feels really difficult when you're starting out, and might be difficult for a while. But with time and being patient with yourself you'll see improvement. We really like the way Ira Glass explains it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnrIk4eLjdlnisk
