How to Draw Like Leonardo da Vinci

Published 2023-02-03
One of the most influential people in the history art and design is Leonardo da Vinci. His way of drawing and visual thinking has been one of my biggest influences. In this video, we will look at Leonardo’s drawing techniques, and how we can learn from them to be better artists, architects, and designers. Learning from Leonardo is an important way to develop as an artist and visual thinker.

    'If you are just beginning as an artist, you must first learn Perspective - which is nothing more than a thorough knowledge of the function of the eye. Without Perspective, nothing can be done well in matters of drawing, it is the guide and gateway of it.' - Leonardo da Vinci
  • I have never come across the term ‘visual thinking’ until your video and it dawned on me that’s why I achieved my best exam results (decades ago when I was a young student) when I had reduced my lecture notes to diagram formats. I was terrible at rote learning and memorizing rules but I could visualize my diagrams and the salient points. This is quite a revelation for me. Thank you for a very interesting and informative video.

    I don't think Leonardo was surpassed by Michelangelo.

    Just found this channel just watched 3 vids. Don’t stop making these, it is very different from other architecture channels. You actually delve into design thinking not just technical skills

    Astounded by your ability to draw w/ both hands simultaneously in precise mirror image. I am sure it is excellent brain stimulation, neuronss and so good for elasticity- or whatever it is our brain needs for continued health!! Im gonna try it! I used to write notes backwards in middle school( the 70s- no phones.we passed notes folded like a football) but i a lways kept with my right hand. It was easy-
