Hi Tom here with this week's Circle Line Art School drawing: The Heydar Aliyev Centre: Zaha Hadid
The first step is to draw a soft horizontal line low down on the page
Next we need a vanishing point in the centre of this horizon line
And all receding parallel lines will go towards our single vanishing point
Next we can draw another horizontal guideline
below the horizon line
as we want the building to be nearer than the distant horizon
Next it is time to work out the curves of the building
Move your hand around in a flowing natural way
Practise the flowing movement before you draw the curve
You could draw a couple of dots
to make where we want the curves to change direction
Watch me draw the curve, then it is your go...
so you can see what the aim is for the curve
Now draw the curved structure
If you can make your curve better, just have another go
Use solf lines, so you can erase the lines easily
The curve does not need to be precise, but it needs to have a flow to it
So that is the difficult part done...
For this drawing I use a 4B pencil
