Architectural Hand Lettering - Architecture Daily Sketches

Subscribe! - kzbin.info?su...
This week we discuss architectural hand lettering.
Usually the proper method involves a T-Square and rulers, but we wanted to approach the tutorial from the point of view of someone travelling with nothing but pen and paper, sketching on the go. But some of the same principles that govern archi-lettering using draughting tools is still applied.

Great video thanks for sharing. From a young age (early 80s when a friends dad, who was an architect, used to work from his easel, quite often with plans, drawings etc left out) I've admired 'architects' writing, and I used to write pretty well, but over the years my writing has become sloppy. This video has given me a few tips to bring my writing back up to scratch again. Cheers 👍🏻

[@DrewPaulBell]

Nice. I've thought about doing a video on lettering, but you did it way better than I would have lol. Another guiding principle that my teacher told us, was that as long as the vertical lines were straight and parallel, that it would be generally readable. When ever my freehand lettering gets sloppy thats what I try to focus on! Great vid, Thanks! Drew

[@kava2021]

Well explained! Like how you break down the specifics…like upward reflection of the stroke and overlapping.

[@civilarch306]

I love the "brown" on the right, you're awesome.

[@MiizzPriivOna]

Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing.

[@juanmiguelbernardo9534]

wow! i just discovered your channel, and I am a freshman architecture student, can you please make a vid on how to use equipment like a metric scale, triangles etc. thank you!!

[@regachoaliyahkhaet6577]

hi, i guess youre a graduating student now?

[@MrKarloz97]

Nice! What book can i get to get an idea or an introduction to this? Not just the letters but the architectural drawing?

[@kscipkkkk]

I had to write a thank you letter today and realized I can’t even read my own writing anymore. Thanks for doing this video 7 years ago.

[@max3734]

what are the main things you would bring in a "sketch walk". Ex. sketchbook pencil, pen

[@denisebagley2342]

Where can I find worksheets? So I can trace the letters?

[@safetime100]

thanks, subscribed and liked, please do more.

[@heatherbloom5426]

I m a firsr year architecture student. I want to know that how people draw plans and elevations by free hand on scale without using archiscale? Like i have observed that it gives more freedom to ur mind to design but i dont know how they do it...

[@leosabat8495]

Quite helpful : ^)

[@COLORPAPERPRINCESS]

wow, its so awesome!

[@sandman5071]

colorpaper princess you have a nice channel. I have a background in Architectural design

[@debradiller4675]

Showing A-Z and 0-9 would be helpful at the end.

[@yuna2799]

I need to practise this without any scale for my archi test 😭😭

[@nytom4info]

I don’t use guide lines when I right anything... even my name !

[@ogc8417]

I'm a 12yr old and I want to be an architect and you inspire me if you can can you to show me how to draw a house on one point or two point perspective Thanks

[@tierraislamexx2914]

woah ur 16 now

[@ampol8]

i wonder why all the architects have the same hand writing? aside from this tutorial do you guys have like a pattern or something when you were studying? aside from the size width etc, the letters look exactly the same from all architects that i have known :)

[@ryanrory2762]

Hmm... good question. For myself, I started off by studying how my senior designers write stuff, and try to emulate from there. There was a class on architectural drawing where hand lettering was taught but it wasn't an emphasis in school but once you're in the workforce, somehow almost everyone uses architectural writing as the norm.

[@vp3841]

That's precisely to make plans created by one architect be easily readable by another and by anyone who's involves in the project. Same in industrial design.

[@addibbaaj2]

@@vp3841 industrial design student here. you are absolutely correct. my good and competent friends always has the neat handwriting the same like an architect would do

[@oneitalia2312]

Too light....can't see anything

[@andreaestipona2954]

Why did you use a scale as straight edge?

[@RyanLenz]

Whats wrong with it? (Genuine question)

[@ScarletRaze]

because scales are not meant to be used as a straight edge. a draftsman’s measuring scale is for measuring only, it is not a ruler. A scale properly used will last for decades, but a scale used as a straightedge will soon have the graduations worn away.

[@andreaestipona2954]

exactly

[@comelordjesus4078]

andrea estipona what do architects use instead for lines

[@disastermaster5726]

I cant see what your drawing

[@BobDenny]

Watch it on something other than a postage stamp phone.

[@vipartsdepartment8339]

Never use scales to draw lines!!!

[@RyanLenz]

I've always heard this, but can I ask why?

[@N.St-]

The guidelines will not be consistent or even straight for that matter. Also, most scales are chipped.

[@luzwmontes]

Architects know that!😉

[@lightwavz]

My very first thought! My drafting teacher would have sent me to the hallway. Use your straight edge or your t-square!

[@pauldow1648]

Letters are small and faint. Difficult to watch.

[@christopherserrato713]

Architectural lettering is NOT DONE ENTIRELY BY FREEHAND as demonstrated here

[@cekuhnen]

I have to say while I like the skill of hand lettering the font being used here shocks me. It is outdated and hard to read. Everybody should know a little about typography and font design/calligraphy when learning hand lettering. While some would consider hand lettering a dying art I would rather say learn hand lettering with more appropriate font understanding. When I see today a presentation in interior design 99% I mainly see a lack of using fonts right and understanding typography. Photography replaced painting and photoshop replaced photo montage with film. Things change but only because you use a software does not mean there is no art and skill to use it right. I had two calligraphy and one font design course before I was allowed to have my 2 typography courses.

[@cansukaymak2189]

I can't see anything. Too much light!!!!!

[@michaeloliver3507]

WOW! TAUGHT HIGH SCHOOL/COLLEGE DRAFTING FOR 45 YEARS AND AM SAD TO SEE SOMEONE MAKING SO MANY POOR DRAFTING PRACTICES I A HOW TO VIDEO???? - RIGHT IN THE START OF THE VIDEO, GUIDELINES DRAWN WITH A SCALE AND ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SCALE TOO! - HOW CAN A NOVICE STUDENT SEE THE PROPER SPACING WHEN THE SCALE IS A SOLID - - YOU ALWAYS DRAW FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND LEFT TO RIGHT SO YOU DO NOT "SMEAR" THE LINES ALREADY DRAWN -
