    Drawing for Architecture, Episode 2: The Basics of Freehand Perspective Drawing

    With David R. Csont

    By ICAA

    May 27, 2020

    Everyone has the ability to draw. As children, we all drew pictures to communicate how we perceived the world around us. As adults, many of us struggle with the fact that our drawing skills may not be at a level that are worth using. Drawing, however, is much like playing a musical instrument, so with practice, good tutelage and a positive attitude, we can all develop our skills.

    Additional episodes of this series are available here.

    Session 2: The Basics of Freehand Perspective Drawing

    • Perspective basics
