Urban Architectural Sketching with Ink by Dan Hogman

Dan Hogman is a licensed architect and illustrator with more than 10 years of experience in designing residential and commercial buildings. In this online art course, you'll learn the basics of drawing a straightforward but detailed building in perspective.

This course is suitable for beginners and all you need are pencils, multi-liner pens, ruler and paper. The reference photo is provided.

This is the reference photo and is the final project.

The course covers basics of architecture drawing such as 1 and 2 point perspective, vanishing points, horizon lines, scale and proportion. There are also tips on placing human figures in your scene to make your drawing look more lively. The lessons are guided with step by step instruction and are easy to follow along.

These are basic construction lines for the building in the final project.

At the end of the course, you should be familiar with the concepts of perspective and should also gain some confidence after completing a rather detailed sketch.

This course is rather basic so you may want to dive deeper into learning more and these are the other courses I recommend:

• Architectural Illustration: Bring Design Concepts to Life by JJ Zanetta
• Architectural Drawing: From Paper to Photoshop by David Drazil
• Expressive Architectural Sketching with Colored Markers by Albert Kiefer (this one is fun)
• Architectural Drawing: From Imagination to Conceptualization
• Artistic Perspective: Interior Spaces from Your Point of View by Carlo Stanga
• Architectural Illustration with Watercolour by Gonzalo Ibanez
• Architectural Sketching with Watercolor and Ink
• Architectural Illustration: Capture a City’s Personality by Carlo Stanga (I like this one)
