What can i do to increase my skill in perspective?

I want to be an architect when i graduate from college. But as early as now I want To learn a lot so i would not have a hard time dealing w/ it.

Hang in there, Kiddo. I had the same problem with you when I was in Architecture school, years ago. I envied a lot of my other friends who could sketch with seemingly effortless ease.

Although the ability to draw is usually inbred and a natural talent, there are ways however, to ply stiff fingers like ours to draw more fluidly. The keyword here is – PRACTICE! Lots of it.

Start on simple, geometrical forms like books, cans, vases, tables, chairs, etc. bring your sketchpad wherever you go and start sketching the things you see around you in your free times. Be patient – don’t go rushing to do complex building perspectives just yet. You’ll be surprised at how you will get more and more comfortable with your strokes after doing a lot of this simple excercise.

Experiment with different pencil lead points in one sketch, to see the effects they each have. Then progress on to other medium like drawing pens, charcoal, markers, etc. Once you understand the properties of different drawing media, you’ll be able to sketch and render a lot easier, because you are sure of how to use them.

If you’re worried about getting your viewing angles right – don’t be. If you’ve practiced enough on smaller objects, the bigger houses or buildings will eventually come to you too.

Sometimes, in a hurry for the weekly design presentations for critique sessions with lecturers, I like to use a handy “shortcut” method. I get real pictures of any perspective views of rooms, spaces or even buildings and use a translucent paper to trace ONLY the perspective construction lines that are naturally projected in the photograph, to get a reasonably logical angle to work on. Then I would sketch in my own designs into those angles. Maybe you could try this too.

But really, don’t worry so much. Sometimes, we’re just not meant to have natural sketching abilities. But don’t let this pull you down because there are other ways to express your design. For me, its computer graphics. I knew I couldn’t sketch as well as I would have liked. So I tried learning virtual 3D modeling. And I had so much fun with that, and clients nowadays seem to appreciate 3D simulations more. Now, I don’t think about sketching anymore.

I hope I helped a little. Good luck, kid!
