    Drawing for Architecture: a New Series

    With David R. Csont

    By ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app

    May 12, 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.

    David R. Csont is the Chief Illustrator and a principal at , an architectural design firm based in Pittsburgh. David developed his mastery of the form during 30 years of practical experience as an architectural illustrator. In this series, David lays out practical, actionable methods for effective architectural drawing.
