1. Introduction : Have you ever wanted to
draw buildings but gets GAD when you observe its
complex architecture. Then there's that last
you're looking for. Hi, my name is Menoeceus. I'm an artist and illustrator. I love to draw and
paint flowers. I will come to my class. In this class, I'm
going to break the complex architectural
drawings into a very simple and easy
to draw buildings. I have designed this
class for beginners. So you'll be learning right
from the basics like how to transfer the basic design
or develop graph paper, draft papers that Julia magic tool when you
are a beginner, they teach you to transfer
the design onto a main sheet. Then we will learn
how to add life to our drawing when making
some DIY Dave's. You'll also learn how to draw a building off any desired size, how to make an bei Gold, how to make it smooth. And finally, we will go one step further
and try drawing a mansion. The drawings that you see on
the screen might look scary, but trust me, anyone
can draw buildings. So the field thing
this class is for you, Let's meet in the next lesson. Bye.
2. Requirements : Let us take a look on the
requirements for the class. Does dot width, you'll need
some graph papers that are so many advantages of using draft papers while
you do the buildings, which we'll be discussing
in the next lesson. These papers come
in various sizes. However, in this class we'll be using a medium
sized graph paper. You'll also need
some drawing papers to do the main drawing. In this class, I've used ivory sheets or printing
sheets for this. Since they are very, they can have a smooth texture. I'm comfortable using them, but the choice is
completely up to you. It can also use a sketchbook
or any drawing paper, whichever you feel comfortable regarding the drawing paints, I'll be using Pigma
Micron of those sizes, 0, 5 and 0 4. You will need dopends, one for the details and
one for the main work. You'll also need a pencil and an eraser to do
the rough sketch. So that's only about
the requirements. Grab your supplies and
let's get started.
3. Anyone can draw Buildings: In this lesson, I'm
going to teach you all the basics you need to
get started with buildings. I'll be taking the
simplest example for your better understanding
of the church. We are going to
start with a charge. You can find that reference
photo below the video. Now Let's get
started To do this. We will be using graph paper and we'll meet transferring
this onto this. So grab your graph paper. Let us move on to
the drawing pad. Your fourth step is to determine the length and the
breadth of the subject. And we are going
to let them mine the measurements in
terms of walks is, how do I do this? Just by observing the reference. Let us now concentrate on
the land of the church. If you take a closer
look at Adobe, six windows, I assume one box
Linde for each one of them. So there are six boxes. The first box is much smaller when come back to the
rest, but that's okay. It's not lead to show
much in the drawing. The boxes I mentioned are
about the boxes on the graph. There are some pillows
out there and as your one Basland for each one
of them so that our code, we do pilus or do losses. And as your runbooks land on
either side of the windows. So similarly on the last section is n1 volts land on either
side of that window. So plus 2 on this gap, I assume one box or less one after that or either
side of the windows, I assume toolboxes each, so that I don't need eight
Rawls's do cross for aid. Finally, we got the DOTA
lending domes of boxes. According to my
calculations that DO the land is about 21 boxes. Now let us try to implement
this in our graph paper. And my draft may bias of
0.5 centimeter boxes. First fix a starting point and gown to anyone
boxes from that. According to our calculations, this will be the total
length of the church. After you draw the beast line, it is concentrate on
the last section. Isu malachite or five boxes. And this five boxes hide Louis the same for
all the sections. So I'm counting five boxes from the starting point and
enjoying a logical line. Similarly, I do another
vertical line towards the end. I do is on the line which joins the previous
vertical lines. I strongly suggest you have your reference
photos side-by-side, so it is easy for you to follow. Leaving one box gap, I make another line for the rectangular
section out there. Follow the black arrow marks
you see on the screen. It will give you a
better understanding. I'm filling all the
elements one by one. By now we have almost completed
all those main sections. Let us now draw the
windows on the church. There are around six windows. I'm Mark horizontal lines to indicate the positions
of the windows. And the assumptions
we have already discussed few minutes back. So draw all the six
windows leaving one or two boxes gap
in between them. Assuming the height
of the windows to be toolboxes and
drawing a dome shape and completing the windows. Once you complete
drawing the windows, let us move on to
draw the rules. As you observe the picture
that I do ruled sections. First a smaller group section, then a larger one. For the smallest section, I assume the height
to be three boxes. And for the largest section, I assume the height to be five. Draw a slanting line
and join the rules. Similarly on the other side, I know a slanting line on
this bar does unwanted, but we will erase it off later. Then I want to draw the last section which
bypasses the previous roof. I'm drawing us Guai
shape of land, five boxes to complete
the last section. Now the lines inside
this glide is unwanted. You can get rid of it later. Finally, a DOD drying less
shape or seven volts is height mod the center to
help you draw the triangle. I'm made to slanting lines on either side to
complete the triangle. I make a small slanting line
on the bottom for the slope. And connected to
the other sections. As you seen that effluence. I draw another slanting line
to complete the drawing. Finally, I draw
draws on the top. You can do with it at
the height of toolboxes, your wish on getting rid of all those unwanted
lines from the center. Then I finally made two
windows on the top section. One thing you have to
keep in mind is that all the measurements
and downs of boxes are based on assumptions. So don't be scattered about all those calculations.
Just go for it.
4. Transferring the design : Latest stands for the
design or do a main paper. To do this, I turn
my grid paper upside down and scribbled other side of the paper using a pencil. A good graphite pencil would
be working great for this. Scribble then DIA,
drawing Bushman. Once you're done,
done the paper, and grab your main backbone, do ritual on the sketch
to be transferred. In my case, I would
like to transfer this design on do an IPO
size die with the sheet. Now, place the grid paper
above the main paper and start to sketch the
outline using a benzyl. Make sure you hold
your graph paper very tightly so that
he doesn't move. I just go over them died
outline using a sharp pencil. Can you guess what is
going to happen now? The shop and said Mark Luke, create an impression on
the paper that just spend IQ is one of the most
commonly used tracing method. Once you're done,
remove the graph paper and you are left with this
beautiful impression. Now it's time to sketch this
drawing using ink bends. And for this, I'm using
Pigma Micron size 04. You can either use a ruler
or you can go with the hand. If you don't like using lunula, go with the hand. No problem. The only point is
you're going to bend this case using old
full Pigma Micron. It can do it in any
way you want it to be. The next lesson we will
bring the building even more alive by adding
some D days to it. It's leading the next lesson.
5. Learn to add life to your sketch: Let us add some details
to enhance the drawing. I'm using the same vein, 04 Pigma Micron that I used
in the previous lesson. I start off by adding some
depth to the windows. I go one side of the windows
to indicate the shadows. It is all based on
the perspective. I assume the subject
is in the middle, so 1.5 will have the shadows on the right side and
the other half would have the shadows
on the left side. So starting from the car, go over the outline on 1.5. You just thickening the outline. Likewise, I enhance the dual
windows on the top section. After you complete
this, let this dry, adding more details
to the Windows. I'm defining the windows even
more by adding some boss, do what the gun lines and
two horizontal lines. When it comes to the Dells igniters the coin with
a reference photo, or you can be creative and move forward angle with
the own design. Add the horizontal and vertical
lines on all the windows. After that, let
us move on to add the base on the
roof of the church. And for this, I'll be
using 05 of Pigma Micron. I suggested grab your
smallest pen for this. Before I move on to
add the details, I get rid off all the
pencil marks on my paper. I just draw broken-hearted zone, the line solo or the
rule for the highlights. I'm drawing the broken lines, alternate them lead to
achieve a realistic look. Just using these broken lines. Once you complete this
main section more to the side section of the
roof and do the same thing. After that. Go for
the top section. Now for the other side, turn your paper and draw
along the same direction. As you move up, you can make it little bit
darker to add some green. I'm making a delegative
adapt on the corner also. You can also add some shading to make it even more realistic. And just few lines. On the top section
over the corner, I'm adding some shading. I'm drawing field lines and
this is called as had chink. And now I'm drawing few lines which bypasses the
previously drawn lines. And this draws is God
is cross hatching. I'm using the cross hatching
method on the roof section, also drawing few bad lines which intersects the
previously drawn lines. Cross hatching is a great method to add depth to your drawing. Finally, I draw the ground
irregular horizontal line. I'm drawing some
grid-like structures here in that derive
a realistic look. To die. Here we go, That's all our
charge is now ready. In the next lesson, I'll
teach you how to resize this, how to make it smaller, and how to make it backup. So I'll see you there. Bye bye.
6. Resizing the Buildings : In this lesson, let us see
how to resize are designed. To do this, we change the
size of the graph paper. For a larger design, we can go with 0.75 centimeter, the one centimeter graph paper. And for the smaller design, you can go for 0.25
centimeter graph paper. And now let us try to
draw the same charge on a smaller graph paper of
size 0.25 centimeter. Does I use the same
exact measurements that we did in the previous
lessons in terms of boxes. If you have the
previous graph sketch, you can have in side-by-side, so it is easy for you to follow. This lesson is not about
how to draw a building, but it is all about how
to resize or building. So I do not go in depth
on the mission and side. If you have any doubts, you can therefore,
the previous lesson, I have described each
and every point clearly. And if you still
have any doubts, you can ride on the
description box below. And I'll get back to you
as soon as possible. The basic idea behind
this technique is bat as to book size with 0s. So the bling size also rabies. We use the same
exact way Shamans on a smaller graph paper to get a smaller exact copy
of the building. Continue drawing the building
using those same missions. Now we've got the basic outline
for the small devotion of the judge that has dried to transfer this design
on the main BBVA. We already had a lead Cinnabon drones
footing the designs. I escape to the other side of the graph paper using
a graphite pencil. Now, placing the
graph paper about the main paper on which you want the design to
be transferred. I create an impression
all over the design. This will create the trace
onto the main paper. Now after you've drawn
for the designer can bend new world
using a big mom like normal size over for
orienting or food choice. Go the pencil marks to
create a beautiful outline. And then you add
the highlights and other details to bring
the building to life. That's all the smaller version
of the charges all done. And now your project will be to create a larger version of the same church using points 75 sending me does graph paper. Draft papers of different sizes are easily available
on the internet. You can go check out
and take a copy of a graph paper and start
drawing the same church. This will be the first
project for this class. In the next lesson, let
us go one step further then try creating some
advanced buildings. The bye.
7. Sketching a mansion : I believe you will not have the basic idea to
sketch a building. Let us now try to
sketch a mansion. You can find the reference
for dual below the video. As always, I start by defining the length and
breadth of the building, assuming the land
to be 24 boxes, I'm drawing the horizontal line. This line covers in total
of 20 football says, I'm assuming the breadth
of the building, excluding the dog bushing
to be dwelled boxes. Same for the other side. Then I joined the two lines
to complete the rectangle. Let us move forward
with the roofs. I assume the length of the
dog bushing to be ten boxes. So I draw a line with ten boxes and I join
them on either side. Make sure this line
thoughts on the Santa. After that, I move
on with the windows. I assume each windows to
be four cross three boxes. That is full boxes land
and three boxes bread. Use the same machine
when Phuc draws three the complete
all the windows. All the measurements
that I see now are purely based on assumptions, have managed to collect
this picture from internet. And I have never seen
this building before. I do the measurements
just observing the bloodshot and coming
with the conclusion. And JS, sometimes your
measurements might be wrong, but it doesn't affect
your drawing in any way. Even though the measurements
can vary a little bit, you'll still have a
beautiful building. After you complete joy, the outline for all
the eight windows, let us move on to draw the nose. I'm assuming that those to
be five cross four boxes, which means five boxes of
land and four boxes of bread. For the door, door, I'm assuming it to be
four cross four boxes. So full boxes of land
and four boxes of bread. Then the dismal want to try and lead Dowell,
which is on top. I assume the length of the
divot to be ten boxes. And this ten boxes should
we measured on the center. So this Davar falls
right on the middle. Then I make a small
rectangular portion in between the two sections, say of length one box
and width ten boxes. On top of the rectangular
portion I make four pillars, dopa laws on the corners
and two on the middle. But it is still
the details later. I'm just drawing
the main sections after make the pillars. I'm just observing if
I had to make that a little bit more wider
to make it attractive. After I'm convinced
with the size and moving on to draw formal
pillows on the bottom. And these four pillars
are going to be exactly below the pillars that
we have drawn before. After that and make a horizontal line for the
designs on the pillars. Now some of you might
have some doubt regarding how much ball should I leave before I draw this line? And the answer is quite simple. It's all based on assumptions. You draw it and
you will know it. I'm not going to go much into
the details because I want to keep this drawing
simple since it is designed for beginners. So instead of giving some more detail the
architecture on these areas, I'm just giving some
squiggles to keep it simple. And now I move on to
the designs which are present or the top
section of the doors. I draw a line and I make
a bunch of Squires. Then for the Windows Store, do lines on either side to indicate that the
windows are open. Then I make a rectangle inside. And they also make
three horizontal lines, one on the center and
due on either sides. Then two vertical lines. And that's how we
will draw a window, follow the same steps and
complete all the other windows. Start by drawing two vertical
lines for open windows. And the rectangle on the center, three horizontal lines
and two vertical lines. I'm making the dog trying load
double much more defined, adding some more layers. And finally I do this depths. And for this depth,
first start by drawing two vertical
lines on either side. And a bunch of
horizontal lines that I draw some rough sketch of the bushes on either
side of the mansion. And that is due the
main sketch layer. I'm just indicating that that
awesome bushes out there. I'm just dribbling to
indicate the bushes. Complete the windows. And with that, we're done. Follow the same steps as we have discussed and complete
all the other windows. I want to draw some fine
details on the doors. I draw a center line and the doors and I
give some shading. All of these rough,
nothing is finalized. Our understanding of how our
main drawing will look like, undoing some highlights
on the tower. And I also make the small design which you find on the center. Start by drawing the semicircle and divide it into six sections. And then draw an
outline outside it. Finally finish off by drawing two rectangles for the
chimneys on either side. And with this, we have
completed drawing a match. In the next lesson, we
will transfer it into the main page and add some details and bring
this welding to live.
8. Mansion- Pen Work : Having done the
basic sketch like this dance for this design
on your main paper. And for this ice cube with the other side of
the draft paper, I use a dot graphite
pencil for this. Then you tell him the
graph paper and place it over the main paper in which you were to transport the design. Please it in the right
position and use a paper tape to
secure its position. Of dataset PR or
the folk or nose trace out the design
is no graphite pencil. Make sure your pencil is sharp enough to create an impression. Just go over the entire design and trace out the
whole building. We have already discussed in the previous lessons how
to transfer the design. So I'm not going much
into the details. After you complete tasks
putting the design, remove all the paper dates. Here you go. We have
the design Now. Let us now bend this. And for this I'll be
using 04 of Pigma Micron. We are just going oh, without
line using figma like road. Nothing much. If you observe the
pencil sketch that is one-to-one line on the bottom
of the dog to make it more defined and making some
layers approximately, I made around three layers
on the bottom of the roof. Then just go with the
rest of the design. Again, I define the
center rule fault. So by adding some more layers, I'm drawing another
triangle inside out. One. We have not drawn all these details
on the basic sketch, but as we move along
the main sketch, we're just making it
more defined by adding all these details so that
the budding constant life. Then moving on to the design
which is on the same day, I first DOD withdrawing
or semicircle. Draw another
semicircle inside it. Find the center
divider design into five to seven potions
as by your genes. I move on to the rectangular
structure which divides the win-loss again and made few layers to bring
the building to live. You're not just going more
with the design and also adding some details to
bring the building to life. And it is not that you have
to just follow what I do. Again, go with your own design and do your own details.
It is up to you. Then I draw the
pillars and gives him designs on top of it to
make it more attractive. I just draw a small rectangle
on top of the bill loss. This will give a ring-like
appearance to it. Complete the other pillows
following the same steps. Then I move on to draw the designs which
connect the laws. I start by drawing a couple of sleeping lines between the, the loss by door will
fall on the center. So I omit the sleeping
lines on the center. Then I draw some squiggles
to make it more attractive. I just pulled the space
with these curves. Then I move on to
draw the doors. The door is going to get a
small design on top of it. I'm drawing a bunch of
boxes on top of the door. Do the same thing
on the other door, also. The placenta line. Then I move on to draw view
lands on either side of the door that I sketched the chimneys up there. After that is dotted
draw the windows. Regarding the windows,
I just go with a little bit of layers to make it more
attractive. And Riyadh SDK. Just go with the benzene mocks. Did I make the stems which
reaches to the house? I make a box and
fill it with lines. I begin the two corners of this DAG case to
represent the handle. We have almost
completed the building. We will do the bushes and the shading the next
lesson, Bye bye.
9. Mansion- Details and Shading : Let us do the bushes now. I'm using the same bin, Pigma Micron or four. I've made or broken
lines or without line. I draw an irregular line near
the top end of the Bush. I fill the lower part and
dilute with these broken lines. I'm trying to portray
the lower pod to have shadows and also dens. So I'm making a lot
of mock makings on the lower end and on the top bar and made
the bad Don's less bans by just giving its presence here in that I make some lovemaking. Following the same steps, do the bush on the other part. Then I take a look on my drawing to observe
what more to be added and completing the
doors behind the pillows. Like so. Then grab the smallest Ben you have
for the shading part, I'm using 05 of Pigma
Micron for the shading. I just make some slanting parallel lines or
lower the door. This draws is
called as hatching. Now I draw some lines
perpendicular to the lines drawn before and this process
is called as crosshatching. This will create depth and
dimension to our project. Similarly, I shade
the other door, also, follow the same steps and
complete the shading part. Once you finish shading, the noisy can move on and
she moved Windows also. I add them to the
windows by folding the same hatching and crosshatching techniques
we discussed before. Shade all the windows
like how I do it, no. And then I move forward and add some details
to the chimneys, adding some ring-like
structures or the dog doing the shading part. Then I use the same
hatching metadata shade the pillows also. I draw this landing lines
over one side of the laws. This is to indicate the shadows. Once you finish
shading the bid laws, let us move more to add
some details on the roof. Just like how we did the roof of the church and doing
the roof of this match. And also I draw some closely
bad panel horizontal lines. Starting from one end, I move towards the center. As they moved was a center. Slowly take my pen
off the paper. So you'll get a
beautiful transition. And once he completed, you can do the cross hatching
on the roof part also. I'm going to finish
the drawing with some palette horizontal
lines over the building. Starting from one
corner of the building, I'm drawing a line which
connects the entire building. Likewise, I draw a
few more lines to make it attractive
and organized. That's how we convert a basic sketch into an
architectural drawing. Building a small,
attractive and more lively. Now, please stay on with me a few more minutes to
discuss the class project. See you in the next lesson. Bye.
10. Class Project: We have now come to
the end of the class. Thanks for taking my class and they hold my class was super helpful for you in creating
these architecture doodles. Let us now discuss about
the class project. Your project will be to practice all the techniques we
discussed in the class. Once you're familiar with all
the methods we discussed, then you try drawing a monument. You can use the Internet to
grab a nice reference for DOE and try drawing the building using the techniques we
discussed in the class. I know it might look
scary, but trust me, once you are familiar
with the basics, you can draw any
building of your choice. So what are you waiting for? Grab your penance titled
draw your own building. It's okay if you first try
doesn't turn out great, Just try practicing
it again and again. And finally you'll get it. If you have any doubt in
any part of the class, feel free to contact me. You can just put a message
below the video in the description
box and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Also shy of feedback, it would help me create better
at losses in the future. Last but not the least
shy of projects, I would love to see them by Thanks for taking
my class again, Have a nice day.
