Architectural Drawing Specialization: From Sketching to Digital Visualization

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 Domestika addresses the topic: Tracing Lines, which is part of the Domestika online course: Architectural Drawing Specialization: From Sketching to Digital Visualization.

This stage is also fairly physically demanding because you have to hold your fineliner and you have to sort of feel the tactile feedback that y...”
