Artistic Architectural Drawing with Ink

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the sketch you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: Object Selection First, set up a composition using found objects from around your house of varying shapes. It will be great to include pieces with sentimental value. Something meaningful will help you in reimagining these items.

The Basic Sketch of Basic Forms Explore the basic framework of your drawing. Create a ghost wireframe structure as a starting point, focusing on the importance of handling the pen and linework lightly. This is about establishing a strong framework for the drawing. Projecting Imagination onto the Shapes Harness your imagination! Think about how shapes can be turned into architectural structures. Begin to consider the materiality of what these different structures could be composed of. Light and Shadow Experiment with light to cast dramatic shadows. Don't forget you will need to establish your light source to do this. Use the cross-hatching method (playing around with directions) to add tones. Populating the Image Add figures to populate your drawing. This will help create a sense of scale and bring an element of humanity to the image. I can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on 'Create your project'. Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there! ”

“ Final Project Congratulations for completing the course. I really hope that it's inspired you to carry on drawing and creating your own interesting architectural cityscapes. The challenge of taking these ordinary household objects, creating composition which translates into a cityscape, is such a great way to use your imagination and also really bringing it in those observational drawing skills, which will have a huge impact onto your artwork. The first step of selecting ordinary household objects can be a really fun one, and you can actually put some of your personality into this project...”
