Architectural Drawing: From Imagination to Conceptualization

About the video: Tracing Lines
Overview
“To make your idea visually convincing, you will need to express it with clarity and precision. Every line carries important visual information about your design. It has to be crisp, nimble, sharp, and focused. This is achieved by tracing the perspective with a black line, giving the image weight and outline. You control the line's continuity as you also assess its visual impact on detailing and outline. In this lesson, you will learn to apply line tracing beyond the mere drawing and use it as a tool for sculpting and sensing your design's three-dimensional setting. You will also learn how to highlight the volume of your design and bring spatial depth to your drawing by using shading techniques.”
In this video lesson Pavel Fomenko addresses the topic: Tracing Lines, which is part of the Domestika online course: Architectural Drawing: From Imagination to Conceptualization. Learn to amplify your ideas with architectural geometry, three-dimensional thinking, and drawing techniques.
Partial transcription of the video
“Tracing Lines We now move on to the tracing with a fineliner. This is still a process of sketching, but it's a bit different than the laying the base process, because here you'll be working with a line, and you'll work with it as an extension of your thought. It's a far more precise and focused process. This is something where you begin to draw with clarity, and a certain amount of sophistication. This is what we're going to use now. This stage is also fairly physically demanding. You have to hold your fineliner and feel the tactile feedback that you're getting from your drawing, because it...”
