Architecture & Design Software Mastery: Digital Tools, Traditional Drawing & Fundamental Design Principles

From 98 C$ /h

Master the complete toolkit of modern architecture and design practice, from digital software to traditional drawing techniques. As a practicing architect with 15+ years of international experience and 150+ successful students, I teach the essential skills that bridge traditional fundamentals with cutting-edge technology.
Digital Tools: SketchUp (advanced modelling, V-Ray, Enscape, D5 rendering), Rhino (precision surface modelling, KeyShot workflows), Vectorworks (Architect, Landmark, Spotlight modules), reality capture integration, GIS workflows, and AI-driven design processes.

Traditional Skills: Descriptive geometry (orthographic projection, axonometric systems, perspective theory), hand drawing techniques using pencils, ink, felt-tip pens, and watercolours, spatial visualisation, and technical drawing fundamentals.

Sketching Module: Can be approached through analog tools (traditional drawing materials) or digital platforms, including Morpholio Trace, Procreate, and Sketchbook, allowing you to choose your preferred medium while learning the same fundamental sketching principles.

Disciplines Covered: Architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, product design, furniture design, lighting design, MEP systems, and show design applications.
My teaching philosophy combines fundamental geometric principles with modern digital workflows. Whether sketching by hand or modelling in 3D, the same spatial understanding drives both approaches. I integrate traditional drawing skills with digital modelling, showing how hand sketching informs digital design and how software tools can enhance traditional techniques.

After an initial assessment, I'll create your personalised roadmap using flexible learning formats from structured instruction to project collaboration. You'll gain access to curated resources, technique recordings, and ongoing support, mastering both timeless design principles and contemporary digital tools that practicing professionals rely on daily.

Are you looking to improve your drawing skills or you don't even know where to start but you dream of an art career? Or perhaps you have entrance exams coming up for art school or architecture studies and you want to ensure you will pass?
This is an individual course design depending on your request and your starting level. Each course includes lessons filled with instruction information, practice time and homework assignment. You can begin with Level 1 and continue further or choose to start on a specific level.

Level 1 - This course is an absolute beginner level. You can hold a pencil and a brush but the starting is so stressful and confusing. You're scared of making a mistake, you don't know where to begin, you're getting lost when it comes to composition or shading whenever you start to draw. I GOT YOU! Those are very common feelings when you start to draw and it can be discouraging, give you a feeling of being stuck or just very dissatisfied with your art.

In this course I will guide you through basic traditional art techniques such as pencil sketching, pen and ink drawing, watercolor, and acrylic painting. We will be studying composition, forms, shapes, structure and texture of different objects such as fabric, furniture, animal fur, plants etc. I’ll show you how to achieve depth in your shading, how to understand light, and the effect of fragility of plants or hardship and reflection of metal. I’ll teach you observation, things to look for in the drawing, but most of all I'll give you tools for future independent learning that will save you tons of time while figuring on your own!
The key to success is your motivation and time you will dedicate to your homework practice.

Level 2 - This course is directed towards people who have some basic understanding of traditional art media techniques such as pencil sketching, pen and ink drawing, watercolor, and acrylic painting. Your art is currently your hobby, but you would like to change it into a career? Know more about art as a business model, get insights into career tips and opportunities. Or do you want to improve your sketching skills, learn to digitise your work, create digital illustrations in Procreate, or combine it all in your own unique way?

Level 3 - Advanced. It will focus on your specific desire as an artist and adjust to your skills and technique preferences. During the first introduction skills, I’ll provide some exercises to see how you work and together we will find the way we can work and improve.

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation.

Are you applying to university for a creative subject?

I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally.

I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds.

I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes.

My guidance may include:

1- Developing original ideas and personal themes.
2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes.
3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques.
4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills.
5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios.
6- Personal-statement and interview preparation.
7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses.

My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further.

Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process.

Online lessons are available internationally.
