How to Draw Famous Buildings: The Arc de Triomphe

Watch Next:

Learn how to draw the famous French monument in Paris, draw the Arc de Triomphe in 1-point perspective.

The Arc de Triomphe is a famous monument in Paris, it was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus. The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned in 1806 after the victory at Austerlitz by Emperor Napoleon, and completed in 1836.

In this architectural drawing I use 1-point perspective to create a 3d drawing effect. Our viewpoint is low down and the vanishing point is at the bottom of the arch on the horizon.

For this drawing I used a 4B pencil and a thin black pen.

This is definitely one of my favorites of yours Tom. I did the Eiffel Tower yesterday and am really proud of it. People have been asking to buy prints of it. Thank you so much for these videos! I’m learning so much from you. I’ve only been drawing since the start of lockdown but already want to give up my job and become a full time artist. Thanks again mate. You’re a a star!
