One of the questions we are asked most often is how to create a studio drawing style in Vectorworks?

Whether you are an artist or musician, jeweller or blacksmith, your design style will develop over time as you gain experience and knowledge. It’s no different as a garden designer or landscape architect. At college or university you will be exposed to lots different drawing styles - both 2D and 3D - but if you are still looking for inspiration then typing “garden masterplan” into a search engine will return lots of examples.

Whether you prefer weighted line drawings, simple colours or decorative textures, one way to start creating your own studio style is with a custom colour palette. Using a defined colour palette from the outset will help keep your drawing style coherent and cohesive!

To help with this we’ve put together an easy four-step guide to creating custom colour palettes in Vectorworks.

In recent years the world of education and professional training has seen a significant shift from traditional in-person learning to online platforms, and we’re no exception to this.

However, while there now more options available when it comes to software training, we recognise that not all of them will work equally well for all customers. The best format depends on what you’re learning and how you like to learn, and may also depend on your budget.
