An insightful and comprehensive guide to mastering the art of drawing and illustrating architecture.Inspiring architecture and beautiful buildings are all around us. Artists often gravitate toward building facades, doors, windows, and roofs that tell a story, convey history, and contain intricate detail. But learning to successfully capture these works on paper can be quite a challenge.
Artist and illustrator Demi Lang has been creating beautiful architectural drawings for years. Working in ink and colored pencils and using reference photos in her studio, Demi specializes in creating artwork that is highly realistic, representational, and incredibly detailed. In this book, she shares her knowledge and techniques so that you, too, can learn to create and illustrate your own architectural drawings.
With inspiring illustrations, clear writing, and an encouraging tone, Demi makes the process of learning to draw architecture both approachable and enjoyable. Writing for artists of all levels, Demi first guides you step-by-step through her entire drawing process. You will learn:

- - The importance of building a photo reference library and choosing good images to work from
- - Three methods to use for transferring a reference photo to paper for the initial drawing
- - Techniques for achieving realistic tone, value, texture, shadow, and light in your drawings
