In this video, I’ll show you how to turn a basic floor plan into a beautiful architectural drawing with more depth, atmosphere, texture, and presentation quality using Photoshop and Illustrator.
We’ll explore a simple workflow inspired by professional architectural visualization references, focusing on long shadows, grain, lighting, contrast, and subtle post-production techniques that can completely transform your plans.
