Architectural Sketching in Blender 🏛️
Architectural Sketching in Blender 🏛️
Join our contest today!
Ready to bring your architectural visions to life? We are thrilled to announce our latest community contest: Architectural Sketching in Blender!
Whether you want to design a sleek minimalist interior, a sprawling gothic cathedral, or a futuristic sci-fi cityscape, the canvas is completely yours. You can create any building you like, interior or exterior, in whichever style sparks your imagination.
While our course, Architectural Sketching Using Blender, teaches you the core fundamentals, we want to see you push those boundaries. Take what you’ve learned and apply it to your own unique design!
🎬 The Twist: Bring It to Life
We’re not just looking for still frames. For this contest, we want you to include some level of animation. Show us how you move around and experience your space! We are especially excited to see the artistic decisions you make with your pencil lines and brush strokes as the camera moves.
🗓️ Key Details & How to Participate
The Deadline: August 1st 2026
Share Your Journey: Don't wait until the last minute to show us what you've got! Please share your WIP (Work in Progress) shots, initial sketches, concept ideas, and explanations of your thought process.
Get Feedback: Feel free to post your work as you go. The Patata School community is here to cheer you on, offer feedback, and help you refine your ideas.
Submit your entry: In the Patata School forums and post it on Instagram, tagging cabeza_patata
💡 Got questions? We’re on hand to help you troubleshoot, brainstorm, and get the absolute best results from your project.
🎁 Amazing Prizes from Huion
This contest is proudly sponsored by Huion, who are offering three incredible graphic tablets to our top creators:
1st Place: Kamvas Pro 16
AKamvas Pro 16 V2 inherits the design from its predecessor, including the aluminum backcase, nano-etched glass, sleek body, press keys, and touch strip.
2nd Place: Kamvas 13 (Gen3)
A highly portable 13.3-inch pen display that balances size and performance. It's an excellent, responsive tablet for detailed digital drawing and character work, whether you're at your desk or on the go.
3rd Place: Inspiroy 2
Inspiroy 2 increases the panel friction by 20% over its predecessor. You can easily concentrate on drawing with the matte textured surface and color saturation coordination.
We’ll be judging the following categories:
1. Aesthetic Quality
A balanced image with well-modelled 3D elements and consistency in colour and composition.
2. Innovation
An interesting use of the principles from the Architectural Sketching course with clear intention and innovative use of Grease Pencil.
3. Personality
We want to see your motivations and ideas behind the piece. Please share some explanation, WIPs or references to help us understand why you decided to create this piece.
