What’s Inside
Roofs Front Elevations
Reading the flat face of a roofline: proportions, pitch angles and simple tile texture.
Roofs Perspective
Building convincing depth in a roofscape: ridge lines, eaves and the planes that recede.
Sketching Roof Tiles
Suggesting hundreds of tiles without drawing every one: the rhythm, the shadow and the shortcut.
Chimneys
The details that make a roofscape feel lived-in: construction logic, pot clusters and tone.
Thatched Roofs
Capturing the organic, flowing character of thatch: texture direction, shadow depth and edge quality.
Exaggerating Perspective
How to push the drama by foreshortening rooflines to create energy and a sense of place.
