Ways to use a random building photo
- Perspective practice: trace the main lines to find the vanishing points.
- History starters: ask students to guess when the building was made and what it was for.
- Game and story settings: imagine who lives, works or hides inside.
- Layout inspiration: borrow a building’s rhythm of windows for a page grid.
Drawing buildings from photos
Begin with the largest box shape and leave the windows until the proportions are right. Wide-angle photos can make walls lean inward, so decide whether to keep that drama or straighten the lines. For the streets around these buildings, try random city images.
