Architecture Student Hacks 2.0 

the rulers technique just blew my mind

"Anything that looks stupid, and it works, then it's not stupid." 😂 Thanks for the great tips Kuya! ❤

The perspective one is BOMB. Landscape Architecture student here!

Another hack we do in architecture school when we're doing plates was we made the plans in CAD then print it in the 20x30 board with a lighter shade (like a light pencil shade) then ink it using the tech pens. It's a bit expensive but it saves a lot of drafting time. We weren't allowed to digitize our plates back then not until we reached our Design 8 subject so we had to make do (I hope none of my instructors see this lol). Also: if you want to erase/remove ink from your tracing/parchment paper, use acetone instead of alcohol. It doesn't wrinkle the paper. Pour a generous amount of acetone on your eraser and start rubbing it across the ink you want to remove. We have a lot of hacks too but some of it are so taboo I'm hesitant to share it here lol

That last one will be a life saver; You're a legend 👏🏾

Future architect student just found your videos and they’re really helpful 💯

Keep inventing new architecture life hacks !!! Pinoy fammm here🙏🏾Students in Hong Kong is mind blown when i do your hacks in studio classes.

I can see the future. You will will hit 1 million subscribers in next 2 years. I mean your videos looks like the videos that are made by the famous RU-vidrs. So at very beginning stage it's so good that we can expect the best in future. Kudos to you. Keep up the work! 👉

I just had my major changed to Architecture. I found your videos last week and they have been helpful. I appreciate you sharing your experiences, so others attending school for architecture can learn some helpful tips. I am in my second Architecture class. I first took Introduction to Architecture and now I am taking Architectural Freehand Drawing 1. This class has surprised me of what I can do and I have learned a lot so far in this class. I know I still have a lot to learn. It will be hard here and there a long the way, but it will be worth it later. 😁

Woa and now you already have like 360k+ subs. I have learned so much from u 🥺 that's a big thanks! Keep on inspiring and helping people . The world needs influencers like u ❤️

your videos are so helpful! i’m just an upcoming grade 10 student and i’m studying some lessons about architecture while in quarantine so that i will be prepared for college. thank you for the techniques❤️

Im starting architecture school this fall and that perspective trick is so big brained!! I have to use that from now on in my personal art too, thanks for the video!

Im still at my incoming grade 11 and your videos helps me alot to not give up my architecture dreams.❤️

I am in my first year of architecture school and OMG! I'm living in your channel! These videos are so much helpfull, thankkss!!

4:33 thanks for this one, it's really fantastic I was avoiding that kind of drawing until this technique

Im a watercolor artist and im taking architecture in college, but that candle-watercolor technique is pretty impressive!! Im thankful that I've seen that before i buy a masking fluid 💯💯👍🙌

I’m taking architecture for school next year so hopefully it can help me learn perspective for drawing. That 3rd tip actually blew my mind lol

The enthusiasm you put is genuinely great. Not an architect student but somewhat do art and its a nice tip. Thanks bruh, subbed and liked.

I remember when I was watching this 3 years ago and you have 1000 suscribers. I'm so happy for you

"Anything that looks stupid is not stupid" i love it. I say it to my friends whenever i do somthing fun which is not usual😂😂 for them. Its actually fun. Get well soon and congratulations for 1000+ subscribers. You are doing great!!!

A thousand subscribers, and yeah look at now! Congratulations! U really deserve it!🥳

The perspective hack is pure genius

Love the perspective hack! I’m struggling at drawing perspectives so I will totally try that hack

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! THANK U FOR THE TIPS. They are a great help!

I'M 3 YEARS LATE OF MY LINEAR PERSPECTIVE PROJECT WHEN I WAS IN GRADE 9 OH DAMN THAT TECHNIQUE #4 OR SMTH IS SUPER WITTY IM IN LOVE WITH YOUR CHANNEL ALREADY.

I have a prophecy By the end the year you will reach a great milestone. Road to 1 million subscribers. No thanks to the pandemic, architecture students rely on online research but gladly we have vloggers like you to help us out. Arigatou gozaimasu senpai llyan. 🙏😄

Rubber Band around 2 pen line weight technique - wrap your two of your most used line weights on opposite sides of each other with a rubber band. - Reduces the time looking for your pen, saves you time Candle Paper Saving Technique - apply wax on corners of the plate before taping it - To avoid ripping out chunks of the tape Candle Window Reflection Technique - apply streaks of a candle on the windows of the plate and then use watercolor to paint. - creates an illusion of glares on the windows Perspective Hack Technique (2 rules, masking tape, thump tacks, and binder clips) - Stick the masking tape on your skin to remove the stickiness of the tape, then pierce the thumbtack on the sticky side of the masking tape, mounting the thumbtack with the tape aligned with the vanishing points. Tape the edges of the ruler with flaps to mount onto the thumbtacks. "Freehand perspective technique." - Instead of rulers, use dental floss and tie it with the thumbtacks. use binders clips on the thumbtacks to avoid stabbing of hands. - The rulers and dental floss serve as projection lines from the vanishing points, saving you time from aligning tools to the vanishing points again and again. Saves you time

Wow, from 1,000 subs to 600K. Kudos, Architect Llyan!
