The glass in windows on the upper levels of a building reflects the sky and the glass on the ground floor level reflects the surrounding buildings or trees.My preference is white gel pen – Pentel Signo Broad. Sometimes the easiest way to achieve this is to apply opaque white over the top of your glass washes. Avoid blobby paint for glass – instead ensure crisp edges.Make sure that any window/glass treatment fits in with the rest of your sketch (the amount of detail, the colours, the values etc).Make sure you understand how foreshortening affects windows – often you see more of the sides of the wall opening than the window itself (more about that in Buildings Intro Lesson 2 and this article.).There is a frame to the opening as well as a frame around each pane, and then sometimes additional mullions. Draw as much detail as you can depending on the scale of your drawing.Last year I did cover this topic in some detail during a livestream inside my Edges course (Refer to Livestrin section 4.18 of Edges) but these sketches summarise those thoughts.Ī few comments that relate to these sketches Inside my SketchingNow courses, I often get asked for some tips for sketching windows/ glass.
