DRAWING LANDSCAPE AND ARCHITECTURE

In this chapter, we’ll explore the beauty of contrast and symmetry in landscapes and dive into the basics of one-point perspective, a key tool for capturing depth in your scenes. You’ll also get hands-on with architectural elements like doors and windows, learning how to incorporate them into your landscape drawings. Along the way, we’ll focus on proportions to help you create balanced, realistic compositions that bring both natural and human-made elements to life.

A sketchbook with pen drawings of trees and wavy lines, surrounded by small architectural sketches on a yellow background.
