Follow along as I walk through the complete process of setting up and drawing an architectural perspective, designing through different details and moving from the development plan through to a resolved final perspective drawing.
This is a shortened version of my full lesson available right now on my Online Architecture Studio 'Sketching in Architecture' with a downloadable handbook provided to work through alongside the video.

Perspective drawing is a tool that can completely change how you communicate and work within your project. Setting up the vanishing points correctly and identifying the right view is extremely important, especially for a presentation level drawing, and is what makes the difference between a perspective that holds together spatially and one that feels off.
We go through the complete workflow in order. Starting from the development plan to understand the space and find the view, establishing the vanishing points, building the base geometry in pencil, then moving into pen once the structure is locked in. The layering and trace process is where the drawing gets its resolution, refining, detailing and composing through to a final resolved perspective.
