How to Write Like an Architect

In this video from the series How to Architect, Doug Patt demonstrates how to architect with the basic drafting tools for an architect when working by hand: a parallel rule, a t-square, and an Ames lettering guide to create the lines for the lettering. 

Although this is a controlled tabletop activity, the principles apply to graphic recording. Doug's advice: "I'd say the most important thing to remember about hand lettering is that your letters need to seem animated while still appearing orderly and neat. I think this is achieved by using a few conventions."
