Sketching is thinking. In architecture, every great idea starts with a line, a quick, expressive stroke that captures a vision before it becomes reality. In this course, you’ll learn how to harness the power of digital sketching to transform ideas into compelling visual stories. This isn’t about rigid, technical drafting. It’s about speed, fluidity, and creative freedom, using digital tools to sketch dynamically, refine concepts effortlessly, and communicate architecture in a way that feels natural and intuitive. You’ll explore composition, perspective, light, and depth, mastering techniques that bring your sketches to life. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll gain the confidence to sketch quickly, think visually, and iterate designs with ease. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to sketch with confidence, clarity, and expression, whether capturing a spontaneous idea, presenting a project, or refining a design. You’ll work with layers, textures, and color to enhance your storytelling, and you’ll discover how to develop your own sketching style that sets your work apart. Lessons: 1. Course Teaser 2.
