Architectural sketching

• Today I am going to share a skills for improving
  sketching in architecture. I hope it will be
  helpful for you. One of the most valuable tools
  in an architectural sketching is the perspective.
  Perspective is three-dimensional feeling on
  otherwise flat image. It gives objects in the
  drawing a sense of distance where closer objects
  look larger and further objects look smaller.
  When try perspectives I usually like to start my
  drawing the horizon line and the vanishing points
  which will serve as m guides to creating the
  perspective effect so there are three main types
  of perspectives that are often used in
  architectural drawing. 

5
One-point perspective

• This is mostly used when sketching is their
  spaces and its characterized by having only one
  vanishing point which is why it is called the
  one-point perspective.

6
Two-point perspective

• These are often used to represent exterior views
  of a house or structure and this characterized
  the having two vanishing points on the opposite
  side of the horizon line.

7
Three-point perspective

• This is used to represent a viewing angle to your
  sketches. So this perspective techniques has
  three vanishing points you have you usual two
  opposing vanishing points located on your horizon
  line and then a third one placed either above or
  below your horizon line so if you place the third
  point above the horizon line it creates a worms
  eye view like youre viewing the subject from
  below but if you place the point below the
  horizon line it will give you this bird eye and
  see if youre viewing the subject from the skies.

Extensions or overlapping

• While sketching I leave the guidelines. Make sure
  your guidelines have the lightness line value to
  not draw the attention away from your main
  subject. When drawing a line I like to put
  emphasis on the beginning and at the end this
  technique anchors your line to page and helps
  your lights a strong decisive look one way to
  also make your sketches look more architectural
  is to introduce line extensions or overlaps when
  two lines meet this will help corners look
  sharper and less rounded. 

9
New Dimension

• When sketching start with the general elements
  and gradually works towards more specific details
  off your going I often begin a sketch by drawing
  a single rectangular prism as a base then just
  adding or subtracting masses from the main. I
  found it easier to sketch the exterior of a
  building by drawing some rectangular prisms to
  determine the massing and later on refining the
  overall shape by drawing from this prisms once.
  Draw the finishing strokes to finalize the sketch
  through the manipulation of the language so by
  making a line darker or lighter and thicker or
  thinner you can add a whole new dimension to your
  sketch. I usually use darker lines outline the
  main shape of the subject. I use lighter lines
  for the finer details. One way to make your
  sketches look better is to add shading to certain
  areas you could do this by either doing a solid
  shade or by adding a hatch shade.
