Here, I'll post things that I think you'll enjoy. Most of my posts will be about architectural illustrations, 3D renderings, new software, and anything else cool.
Position your subject so there is sufficient "breathing room" between the front of your subject and the rendering border. Otherwise, things can appear cramped or crowded-even off-balance. It's unnerving for the viewer to see a subject just about to leave the frame.

A major part of any staging process involved trail and error, shifting objects around while paying close attention to how the objects interact. Consider how colors overlap, how objects cast shadow on one another and how certain effects are more pleasing than others.

Sketching is a good way to build your composition with simple shapes, lines, and tone. Nobody has to see your sketches, and they don't need to be refined; just start sketching. Start with simple shapes, and build upon that. Your sketches can fall into three groups.
Croquis
A Croquis is a thumbnail sketches that establish the image's main concept and sets the composition by indicating the most important shapes and values.
Esquisse
An Esquisse is a refined version of the Croquis: a more resolved thumbnail with a refined value structure and something closer to the final composition.
Étude
Is a drawing of an individual natural element, such as a tree, a patch of undergrowth, or a rock outcropping.

Previously, I showed you how I model in 3DS MAX Design by creating a high resolution bitmap, using a DirectX Shader. Well, once you get your blueprints in place, you need to lock them down, so you don't accidentally mess things up.
I want to slide the plane back and forth, but only on one direction, and never up or down. It's very easy to accidentally nudge something slightly, so locking things down is very important.

This drawing by the celebrated renderer Schell Lewis shows that a subtle use of shades and shadows can offset use of perspective in achieving a sense of depth. The relief and projection depend largely on the form and value of the shade and shadow tones. Note also the way Lewis handles the smaller detail in the shadow of the cornice.
Schell Lewis
I love the idea of studying the masters, like the renderer Schell Lewis, and using technology to capture the same feeling that they were able to capture using the pencil. Nowhere does it say we, architectural illustrators, have to show perspectives, just because we can. This entrance is a small part of a bigger picture, but Lewis was able to capture the architecture with a small vignette.

THE CONCEPT OF BUTTERFLY HOUSE
When I was just a kid, I´ve been painting some butterfly in a nice way, the method consist in draw just in one side of the paper then close the both sides to have a mirrored image. The most common image was a butterfly.
