I actually just learned by trying different styles of drawing out, takes a lot of practice but I swear that anyone can learn stuff like this quicker than they might think.

The [first building](http://www.markdennisartist.com/illustration/un7k594ga8blae8p8dczt26cfykrxe) I drew was in May 2020 I think, started off with quite a simple square building and did it small, concentrated on just getting the perspective right and learning to interpret the brickwork and windows into shapes that could be done more simply.

My advice would probably be to go for a walk outside and have a look for something that interests you, get a decent quality photo (the higher detail the better) and then watch any youtube video about drawing in perspective. A couple of 10 min videos will give you a basic idea, you can only learn so much from youtube though, you'll learn much more by just having a go.

Starting a new drawing always feels super confusing, but just start in pencil and try to trust yourself to keep going, even if it looks shit at first (mine always look shit at first haha). If the pencil is a mess then you can always correct it when you go over it with a pen.

Good luck and :)
