Pencil colour : site section sketch! - Architecture Daily Sketches Video Lecture | Sketching: Enhance your Skills - Art & Craft

hey everybody Omar here for architecture
daily sketches and today we are
sketching a simple sight section and
coloring it with color pencils in a
previous video we call it a sketch site
plan this one and a few of the comments
asked to continue with a coloring
tutorial for a corresponding site
section so here we go oh and if you
haven't watched a site plan coloring
tutorial you can click up here to watch
it first so for this tutorial you will
need the same tools as the previous
video so a pencil any pencil actually
two pens one thin the line weights ten
and this one is a thick line weights and
Colour pencils again this is my own set
it's a really inexpensive and basic set
with just 12 color pencils but I like
this brand because of how soft the
colored LED is so it makes it easier to
lay color with like really light
pressure because my way of coloring is
quite subtle and I like it subtle so
first order of business we will sketch
out our section and to do that we need
to refer to the site plan and determine
where our section cut is going to be all
right now usually when we draw a site
section it's either because we want to
describe the general condition or chosen
site or to highlight certain special
features on this site no like if there
is a hill or a water body for example
our site here is some land next to a
water body so it wouldn't make sense if
we chose a section that was just land or
just water it would make better sense to
cut it across this way so that you can
show both now having said that I think
the most interesting geographical
feature in this site plan is this here
this little Inlet of water and is a bit
of land that's kind of jutting out like
a really stubby Peninsula so it would be
nice to show that because I think that
that kind of section could encourage us
to come up with an interesting and
dynamic
bill proposal anyway because of that I
think would be best to actually cut the
section diagonally to adequately show
this feature I think from here to here
most likely so yeah and you'll be
looking this way so I'm cutting it here
now we use this section cut line as a
reference to sketch out the site section
you can use a ruler if you want to
maintain accuracy but I think I'll just
try an eyeball this
[Music]
[Music]
so now I finish marking out where the
land where the cut of the land the water
and the trees are gonna be so now I'm
gonna ink all these details before I
proceed to coloring so now I'm gonna
choose the color pencils for this again
for the trees we'll just use the for all
the vegetation we'll just use these
three colors for the water we will use
these colors and we will use brown and
black for the cut section of the soil
we're gonna use a lot more of this first
I'm just gonna overall wash this
okay guys some of you may notice that
all of these all of my lines are of the
same line weight is because I'm going to
color it into the color pencils and some
of that color might smudge onto the line
weed so I used so I fixed the line
weight as a last step so that it will
look a lot more crisp
[Music]
for the soil you can push the pencil a
little bit harder and use a little bit
more pressure because it should be dark
a bit darker but I'm going to do this in
stages I'm going to first just give an
overall wash and then I'm going to make
it darker gradually
[Music]
I will be building up the colors
gradually much like how I did with the
site section drawing now I'm adding the
second layer for the soil and I'm going
to use a little bit of the color black
as well
[Music]
you
[Music]
now I'm adding these color pencil
textures to help make it seem like as if
the the landmass is kind of bulging
forwards and backwards just to make it
look a bit more 3d and it will also
simulate some shadow as well now I'm
just using the darker green color here
to denote where the shadows are it
doesn't have to be very accurate so long
as it looks right
[Music]
for the background vegetation I'm not
gonna add any shading or anything I'm
just it's just going to be one flat
subtle wash of this light green color
[Music]
so remember to keep the lightest hand
the most lightest pressure for the
drawing of the sky you just want to
light gradients you can create little
patches here with your color pencil and
whatever negative space left behind sort
of simulates clouds
[Music]
and so we are done we have our we have
our site plan and our site section ok so
let us know in the comments below what
you think of this tutorial did it help
you they did not just let us know and
also let us know what else you'd like us
to show or talk about and we will try
