It takes some practice to get them into your sketching workflow I think, but once you do they are a handy tool to have. Several options for watercolor pencils Castle, Faber-Castell, Derwent and many others. Most watercolor pencils can act as regular colored pencils and be used dry also if you prefer not to wet your drawings.
Here I prefer a watercolor pencil to make that wash effect. Make the combinations of the previous few items work for you. This is also about the style you learn to feel comfortable with and want to give to your work. So like the markers above, you can use these to liven up your drawings. Square pencils are cool! Standard versions are available from Tombow, Staedtler and others.Ĭolor Pencil Set – Water Color or Prisma PencilĬolor pencils can be used with ink or with pencil drawings. I like love the Moleskine pencils due to their unique shape. You may find that this is the medium you prefer to use for sketching.

I am not a big pencil artist, but these are still something needed so you can learn how to use them and test your skills at a minimum. These are standard sets of pencils with different hardness for drawing. There are Caliart on the less expensive end up to Copic if you want to splurge.
But some like the large chisel end instead.
It makes an easier color wash in my opinion. As you practice, learn and hone your sketching skills, these are a valuable addition to help you emphasize portions of your drawings or just give them a little bit of wow! I like the dual tips that have a brush tip on one end. These are just to add pops of color to your sketching. (Bob likes his sharpies)īasic Color Set Ink Alcohol Markers ( Artist Markers) Some find other pens to replace these as they learn their preferred sketching/drawing styles, but I prefer this type of pen for pure sketching. There are several good sets to choose from Staedtler, Artline, and Sakura just to name a few. They are often also called “artist” pen sets. They can do some light technical work if needed but are more about giving you options for line weight when you are sketching. They also come in multiple sizes to suit your preferences. Of course, these are good for writing text also like taking notes or jotting down ideas.
#Architect design kit plus
Also, they lay open easily which is a plus when you are sketching. But if desired I can ignore it altogether and just sketch like a madman! The Moleskine Cahier paperback dot-grids are my choice inexpensive and good quality. In a detail sketch, the dot-grid may represent 1” or it may be 4’-0” in some other sketch. By that I mean that depending on what I am sketching I can use the dot-grid to assign a scale to my drawings. I personally prefer a dot-grid notebook as it gives me a little structure, but it also allows me to work at a self-created scale. Now of course these are something that you need to continuously purchase as your move through school and, hopefully, for the rest of your life. Most of these should be utilized throughout your school years. M y Must-Have List of supplies for starting architecture school.
#Architect design kit software
That might become another post, so computers and software are of course needed. This list is really about analog “tools” so there is not any digital technology listed here. This list below is My list and is not the same as the one I am curating from my colleagues in the architecture department. Oddly enough, I am actually the person who has been tasked with creating such a list for our incoming freshman students. So I am going to break it down into a list that I think every student should have as they enter architecture school. Since we are a mere four weeks away from the start of a new year of school, even though the delivery of education may be a bit different this coming fall, there are still tools that every architecture student needs. What do you need to have for architecture school today versus just a decade ago and even further back? How much have these things changed? Should they? As I am preparing my syllabus and other items for the quickly approaching fall semester, I have begun to have discussions and questions about the student “tool kit” if you want to call it that.
