• There are four fundamental methods to equip your pencil, each of which determines the stroke, the weight of the pencil on the paper, the style of line, and the level of detail you want to represent.
• Visualization is the real game in architecture and perspective is the trick. How you set an angle to visualize your idea, building or subject, dignifies your work. 
• Whenever you are layering your idea or constructing spaces in your plan, especially in a multi-story building, it is necessary to work in different line-weights and line types.
• In architecture, balance and proportion are key tools. Every artwork must be in tune with its elements, which means you should never overlook the necessity for balance in your sketch.
• Experiment with different approaches to create balance on your canvas and drawing.
• Working in layers is strongly recommended in architecture, as this is a discipline that frequently need a rework. Working in layers allows you to go from a simple sketch to a highly detailed drawing while having the option to edit layers in between, saving you the time and effort of redoing your design.
