Super easy! Sketch, perspective, architectural drawing, and coloring all in one go.
Computer design also relies on the ability to sketch using one's hands.

Architecture is no longer the domain of experts alone.
Broadcast programs about building my own home and exploring architecture are constantly being created, and people's interest continues.
People across various fields are pouring in a lot of time and passion, no less than professionals, to find their own space.


"Architectural Sketches and Perspective Drawings Made Easy" is an introductory book that allows you to easily learn the sketching, perspective drawing, architectural drawing, and coloring processes for architectural design all at once.
This book allows you to learn step-by-step everything from sketching to capturing the shape of an object, to two-dimensional representations of architectural drawings, perspective and perspective drawing, which are three-dimensional representation techniques, to techniques for upgrading drawings.
As the author states, you don't necessarily have to read it from the beginning.
You just need to find the part you need and work on improving your skills.


We live in an age where architectural drawings are created on computers.
It's become a little more accurate and a little easier.
However, architect Do-gyun Lim, who supervised the Korean version of this book, says that the ability to express architecture using computers is also based on the ability to sketch using one's hands.
Hand-drawn sketches and drawings contain the vision the architect wants to express through the building, the texture he wants to incorporate into the architecture, and the world he wants to share.
It is a freedom and beauty that is difficult to feel in a place that is as straight as a ruler.
This is why architecture is art.
This introductory book to architectural design is filled with step-by-step techniques to improve your understanding and skills in drawing, but also contains the sensibility, warm perspective, and leisurely pace that architects need to possess.

Lines drawn with a pencil or pen are simple.
However, if you draw several overlapping lines, something diverse begins to appear.
For example, if you draw a shadow on a circle drawn with a single line, it turns into a sphere, and if you draw a three-dimensional geometric pattern on the surface, it turns into a unique ball.
If you draw a line around the outline, it also gives the impression of rolling.
With a simple line like this, you can depict various elements, including the texture, light and shadow, and movement of an object, and even express the intentions and emotions of the person drawing it.

A drawing is something drawn to create something.
Unlike sketching, it is not about drawing what is in front of you, but rather about making the image you have in your head come to life.
Sketches do not have dimensions or scale, so they cannot be shaped using only sketches.
Therefore, the drawings you draw to create something must follow certain rules.
When drawing a drawing, if the image or intention of the person you want to create is expressed in the drawing, you will be able to visualize it as closely as possible to that image.
Especially in architecture, the person who thinks (the architect) and the person who builds (the constructor) are often different, so the more carefully the person who thinks draws the drawings that convey his or her thoughts, the closer the building that is completed to the image he or she had in mind can be.
Therefore, it is most important to learn various drawing expression methods.

In sketching, you don't use a ruler to draw lines.
For example, even if it is a straight line, it doesn't matter if it is not a straight line because it is drawn freehand.
A little bit of shaking or a difference in jokes is the artist's hand taste and individuality.
However, if the lines are too distorted, the image you want to convey cannot be properly realized, so some practice is necessary.
Before drawing a line, check the starting and ending points of the line.
If you draw the wrist and elbow as the axis, the line may bend, so move the entire arm in parallel.
If you focus your consciousness on the tip of the pen and draw it with a faint, wavering motion, you can draw a line that appears to be a straight line.
And if you draw several of these lines parallel, even if the lines are slightly distorted, it won't be too noticeable.
The pattern of parallel lines, such as grids or grids, is often used in architecture, such as window frames and floors.
Let's choose a few patterns and practice drawing them as accurately as possible.

I realized that sketching is essential not only for the general public but also for architectural professionals, and that the methods, techniques, and expressions of drawing architectural drawings are one and the same.
As you get better at sketching, you will be able to draw better drawings and realize the importance of sketching.
I wrote this book to answer the growing interest in sketching, from students aspiring to become architectural professionals to the general public interested in landscape photography.
