Features: Architectural drawing is a visual language that designers in architecture and related fields must master. From the perspective of its function, while it shares many commonalities with general paintings, its unique characteristics are very distinct. First, the expressive effect of architectural drawing must conform to the objective reality of the design environment. Second, during the drawing process, it cannot arbitrarily change or distort the architect's conception; instead, a scientific attitude should be adopted in handling every part and detail of the image. Furthermore, architectural drawing is both a design drawing with strong scientific rigor and a painting art work with a high artistic taste. Moreover, architectural drawing differs from general architectural sketches. It cannot depict real objects for reference but must creatively draw the "future" image of the building based on technical materials such as floor plans, elevation drawings, and section drawings.
