      Lovely. I just really enjoy this stuff! I recall finding the first books on perspective drawing in the library, books from the 50's about drafting and getting sucked into the whole business! These studies look very cool1 I love the mood of the last one. You must have such great buildings to draw.

        Thanks pbacot for kind words.
        I myself personally am mesmerized by the loose characteristics of hand sketching during the design process and also love to create sketches over beautiful heritage buildings.
        My sketches belong to "Baba roknodin", "Yazd historical city" and the watercolor is made over "Hasht behesht palace". I made them while traveling to Yazd or at my hometown, Isfahan.

                  Wow, mates! thanks for heartwarming compliments!
                  Soon will share some images of the upcoming book. I guess many will find our approach to perspective sketching a very handy tool.

                      Michalis,
                      I never ever forget the online class on blender3D you generously gifted to me several years ago, do you remember?. It was outstanding. I really appreciate it... I was missing you too much!
                      Thanks for kind words also...
                      Isfahan is the city of one thousand and one night... I hope to meet you in person here...
                      We are doing the book cover and some final touches and hope it will be ready soon.

                        Really beautiful work Majid, and a bit of a salve for the soul in this ugly, chaotic year.

                        Looking forward to seeing (and buying) your book when it's available. I was planning on teaching my two grandkids how to draw with perspective sometime this year, so it will be a particular help in working out the pedagogy β€” not to mention that I imagine it will improve (and speed) my own drawings!

                        I appreciate all of your contributions here, and your demonstrated abundance of humanity, positivity and talent.

                                The watercolor is mesmerizing.

                                I like using a pen, even for making notes of ToDo's for the plugin. πŸ˜„
                                All the best with your effort! I am personally very interested in it.
                                I will certainly learn a lot from it. My hand-sketches were never good enough.

                                      I will start a topic on it to describe more on what tips and trick we -me and my colleague- are sharing in our book. I hope many find it useful!

                                          The kindle and the paper-back versions of "perspective shortcuts" are now on the Amazon. I think due to the approach we made, it is an appropriate balance of accuracy and being intuitive. I hope readers find it handy and a joy.
