How to Draw Realistic Windows

Are you windows flat looking holes in the wall, or real looking openings hinting at the spaces within? This video will alert you to the possibilities of details we can overlook, or make effort to see and draw, to capture the full effect of reality, and enhance the visual narrativeage of our scene. The reference photo can be found on the Channel Community.

I have learned many things from watching your videos, but the most useful for me is where to start. It has been such a useful learning. It helps me a lot to keep proportions on the drawing . Accordingly to my family critiques my drawings are muuuch better now 😄

Great to hear this @eb6319. I've just posted a video on my principles for choosing where to start and how to progress a drawing if you're interested in more. :)

looks really crisp and 3d, nice tip for hatching at the edge, avoiding a hard edge line using a scrap paper👍👍

So I tried this without using an eraser. I was impressed with my perspective lines. I made errors in spacing the windows, not too bad, but a couple of them were too small. I realized I did not observe carefully the bottom of the drawing. I thought it would look worse, but it wasn't too bad.

Sounds like good progress Ken. Welcome to the learning process. 😀

Yes, windows are the windows to the interior of building.

Haha. Yes, I thought someone would comment 😆
