Guided Course: Architectural Sketching with Digital Techniques
A guided course by Timo Mueller , Industrial Designer and Illustrator

Sketch architectural concepts with clarity. From layout to detail, color, and figures—create a refined visual of a designed space.
In this guided project, you'll explore the fundamentals of architectural concept sketching to communicate design ideas visually. Starting with perspective and digital tools, you’ll interpret a brief, draft layouts, and define basic shapes. You'll then enhance your sketch with details, color, light, and figures. In the final stage, you’ll refine your work for presentation. By the end, you’ll have a polished concept sketch representing a dynamic architectural space with exhibits, products, and people.
