Question: Architectural drawing - hard to learn!?
I've recently started thinking about studying architecture!. However, I can't (and never could) draw!. I know that there are drawing exams in the nearest university (I live in Europe) and I know the results matter a lot when they are choosing future students!.

Is it possible to learn how to draw in a year!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Are you talking about Drafting or Rendering!? Drafting is drawing up and laying out plans, which is mostly done with computers these days!. Rendering is making representation of those plans that look like photos/paintings for showing off the building!. The latter requires real artistic skills!. The former, when done by hand, requires straight edges, compound curves, and compasses, or a sure hand with a straight line, and most of the essentials can be picked up in a few months, certainly in a year!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think you know how to write!. Writing is one kind of drawing!. If you know to write you will able to draw a picture!. Some easy way to draw a picture so you have to learn the science of drawing!. Try to understand that and go ahead you will achieve the architecture study!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
