Buildings

[Ninjaninku]

I am working on drawing different environments with unusual buildings. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good reference or has any tips. Any input would be verry helpful. Thanks

Pick up some of the HALO concept art. Bungie has a bunch of it posted on their website, I prefer my "Art of Halo" which has the rest.

Also, note that many architectural styles are derived (or corrupted) from classical influences.

check out some modern architecture and architectural design books at the library or the bookstore. that and photography books that have cities and architecture photography as their theme might be helpful.

if thats not enough try and visit the architecture department of the nearest art or technical university / academy.

the libraries of the institutes where i studied architecture had loads and loads of books about built and unbuilt buildings (obviously).

good luck.

Could be a good idea to find a specific architect you like, such as Frank Lloyd Wright (I hope I spelled that right), and find books on their work. Especially if you're doing places meant to be designed by the same person or group of people.
