Want to Know What I Use for My Architectural Drawings?

 

A lot of you ask me what pens, paper, and materials I use for my architectural drawings, so I thought this would be a good place to start.

I’ve taken one of the lessons from my upcoming course, A Beginner’s Guide to Architectural Illustration, and made it available as a free preview for those joining the waiting list.

In the video, I’ll walk you through the materials I use and why I use them. You’ll also be able to download a PDF guide so you can keep the list with you and start preparing your own setup.

When you join, you’ll get instant access to:

âś… A free video lesson
from inside the course

âś… My downloadable materials PDF
âś… First access when the
full course opens

âś… A special waiting list offer at launch

The full course will go much deeper into the drawing process, from choosing a reference to building up a detailed architectural illustration step by step, but this preview should give you a clear and simple starting point.

Hi, I’m Max 🏛️✍️

I’m a UK-based architectural artist known for hand-drawn pen and ink illustrations that celebrate craftsmanship, detail, and the hidden stories inside iconic buildings. After transitioning from a background in construction into a full-time art career, I’ve built a community of 54K+ followers on Instagram who love seeing complex architecture broken down into clean linework and precise detail.

My work has been featured across high-profile platforms and spaces, including London Underground billboards, and exhibited in places such as the Milan Icons Gallery and ArtHouse Galleries in Surrey, with media recognition from outlets like The Times, Epoch Times, and LADbible. Alongside landmark illustrations, I’m also known for creating bespoke house portraits that turn meaningful places into timeless artworks.

In this course, I’ll guide you through the beginner-friendly method I use to turn complex buildings into confident drawings. You’ll learn how to choose the right reference, simplify the structure with easy perspective, and build detail step by step using clean linework, so you can finish an architectural illustration you’ll be genuinely proud to share.
