Its purpose is to help people in their art. And what is one of the best ways to help people? My beloved tutorials, of course! Plus our club founder and director asked all the mentors to contribute a tutorial if possible.

Now, I know I’m not the best artist, and thus was my dilemma. What could I contribute that hasn’t already been done to death? Then I remembered one of the very first lessons in my architecture drawing class: Line-Weights.

Line-Weights are very important to an architect because they provide a hierarchy within the drawing that expresses so much more than just the straights and curves of the lines and shapes being shown. I hope you see what I mean.

BTW, The drawing is very basic. I swear I can do better. It's just the essentials of perspective that I needed to get the point across. Plus I almost over used the pen-tool (hence some line mistakes) thinking that it would save me time in the end. Hmm... actually, it did.

Hope it helps someone out there.
