Features: Architectural drawing, from the perspective of its expressive scope, seems to be limited to depicting urban buildings and architectural environments. However, it is a discipline that integrates engineering technology and artistic painting. On one hand, it must accurately reflect the content of engineering technology; on the other hand, it requires the artist to have a solid grasp of aesthetic knowledge and painting techniques. Therefore, an outstanding architect should also be an exceptional architectural painter. The form and content of architectural drawing are generally divided into design work drawings, realistic urban architecture and environment paintings, and architectural landscape paintings, among others. In terms of expression techniques, various painting tools, as well as computers, can be applied, making it incredibly diverse. Architects can also appreciate each painting tool and technique. However, it is not easy to require every architect to master and apply all painting tools and techniques in a short period and to develop personal characteristics. But no matter how diverse architectural painting expressions may be, the role of an architect must be expressed through hands to convey their creative achievements. Especially in the early stages of design creation, the mental activities reflected by architects, particularly the fleeting concepts that arise in their minds, need to be recorded promptly and synchronously. This requires the use of convenient tools at hand, such as pens, pencils, etc., to make quick, simple, yet expressive sketches on the drawings. This is the fundamental skill that every architect must first master. Many design sketches left behind by domestic and international architectural masters are often just a few strokes of practiced lines that can vividly convey their creativity, fully demonstrating the mastery of these masters' hands-on skills.
