LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
I sit down with Patrick Bosworth to show you how to draw a staircase completely freehand. Boz skips the straight edges and rulers to demonstrate a quick warm-up sketch. You will see how to start with a basic cube platform and eyeball the divisions for your stairs and landing. We cover how to aim for an imagined vanishing trace and map out the ramps, treads, and rises. The goal here is not perfect precision. It is about learning the moves so you can quickly thumbnail a solid and convincing staircase in under ten minutes. This rough sketch gives your drawing some honest wonk and sets you up perfectly to draw a refined version later.

Patrick Bosworth demonstrates how to sketch a freehand staircase. A rough drawing helps you plan the layout before adding precise measurements.
@Patrick Bosworth @Marshall Vandruff
Thanks for the casual freehand Staircase demo, it's brilliant.
It was great to see the staircase come together.
Use it as a warm up, great idea, :)
Can this approach be used for a basic spiral staircase?

2m
We'll get heavily into spiral staircases when we move on to ellipses, but the gist of it is putting a helix ribbon around a cylinder to map out the curves

3h
Boz's precise staircase with instruments will also release letter this week!
