Painting and sketching buildings has always been my weak area. Does anyone have any tips they could share that might help me with painting buildings etc?

Learning perspective is the about the best advice anyone can give in drawing buildings...drawing anything actually. You said that buildings is your weak point so maybe post a small drawing so we can take a look at what needs to improve. Theres a lot more to perspective than drawing lines to a vanishing point. It's an ongoing learning process for all of us.

jason ross: I always include a perspective grid. Drawing and painting buildings in its actual self is not a problem, it's just blocking in the details that gets me thinking. n_n Though appreciate your advice. I almost forgot about this topic, anyhow I'm soon finished with the piece so when it's done I'll post it here.

blaise: cheers, I'll do that.
