Drawing Mentor 10, Sketching Buildings

Anyone can draw; all it takes is a pencil, paper and a little practice. The Drawing Mentor series of books breaks down drawing into simple easy to understand subjects. Each volume is filled with detailed explanations, examples and exercises; that way you can get the exact lesson you need based on your skill level or interests.

For those who are just learning to draw, we recommend starting at the beginning, for those who have already developed basic drawing skills the later lessons with their more advanced step by step projects may be more appropriate.

Fully revised for better flow and clarity, Volume 10 will teach you a number of techniques for sketching buildings. Specifically, this lesson will review perspective and the importance of using perspective to draw buildings; it will also cover vanishing points, selecting an appropriate view point, and locating and adding details. Many examples are given and opportunities to practice each skill are provided. This lesson will give you foundational understanding of buildings and how to draw them.

In the end we hope that the lessons, examples and practice exercises in the Drawing Mentor books will give you the foundation you need to be able to draw anything you can see or imagine.
