Meet Your New Architectural Drawing Tutor
Hi, my name is Michael Neatu, I am a RIBA Architect and in the last 8 years, I have taught Architectural Drawing to over 9000 students via my video trainings and courses.
With my guidance, you eliminate the guesswork and self-doubt around architectural drawing and will you step by step start unleashing your full architecture potential. Absolutely all my students have results from my courses!
How I will get you the results you never achieved before with architectural drawing:
1. Follow the lesson plan 1-2 hours/day total study time
The way I teach it, it doesn't take 12 hours/day of studying to get good at arch drawing.
1-2 hours/day is enough for you to get study momentum and consistently finish 2 assignments/week and get through the course.
2. Send work over for review and personalised feedback
You have direct access to me via whatsapp - hence you can send over work for review. I will get you unstuck if you hit a sticking point and push you to get 20% past what you think you can do for each drawing/assignment.
3. Apply the feedback and upgrade your drawing skills
This way you get the most out of each stage of a drawing and finish each assignment in the most efficient way possible. Personalised feedback is what will upgrade your abilities.
To Sum it up,
I Can Help You With 2 Things:
1. Get Ridd of All the Fears Around Architecture and Drawing
Right now you are probably putting architectural drawing on a pedestal or thinking that 'you already know this' ( both lies that tie you down and keep you creatively blocked). I will help you see the true north of architecture and how you can develop your unique creative vision.
2. Get You to Take Massive Action
You probably are stuck at one level or another with architectural drawing - maybe you do not have god graphics, maybe your technical drawing is off, maybe you graduated and never learned this stuff. Regardless, I will guide you step by step on how to get past all of these and more!

What Alumni Students Say About Working With Me:
Roxana C.
I really liked the idea with videos. Lessons are not that easy and when you hear the explaination the first time, you won't understand too much. So, videos can pe replayed again and again and you can do it even during classes because Michael is not the kind of teacher that rushes you and starts shouting if you don't understand. He's got his ways of making you 5% more intelligent and 5% more attentive, never doubt that. He's a pretty good psychologist too, and this is definitely important if you choose to do architecture. Sometimes he tells jokes, other times he'll ask you to open gene keys 'bubbles', but what's certain is that you're gonna learn everything you need to know for the college admissions - and even more.
Adela C.
I followed this course for 3 months and in this time built all the knowledge I know now about drawing and architectural design. The video lessons help so much, as you can rewind as many times as you like if you didn’t understand a certain thing. Michael is there to explain and correct everything you do so that you can understand it fully. If you would like to choose a path like architecture in life I would highly recommend you take his classes.
Alexandru R.
One of the best places you can learn about architecture drawings. I highly recommend.
Alexandru E.
Personally, this teacher impressed me with his vast knowledge and helped me to understand that you need more than drawing skills for make a good drawing. He helps you to grow inside and draw at the same time. Moreover, his videos make your work easier. From there you can inspire, learn and believe that all this is the perfect combination for whatever you need.
Andreea V.
This course was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. The only regret I have is that I found out about it so late. I feel like I’ve accumulated so many informations that helped not only in my professional formation but also in my personal one.
Mihaela O.
I started these courses two years ago and I must to tell you that these are incredible. I want to thank with all my heart my teacher because he taught me everything I know now. The results of the courses were visible in just a few months and after one year my drawing looked much better. Thank a lot your support and for the fact that you made me proud of my own drawings!
Andreea F.
He is an extraordinary professor and a great arhitect
Anamaria B.
I think that Michael’s courses is really fantastic. Being able to go to a class with someone who knows and cares about the material so much is a blessing .He is a genuinely good proffesor who cares a lot about the success of his students . I really enjoyed this courses. 10/10 would recommend.
Usongo A.
If you dream of becoming an architect or of refining your architectural talents, this course is highly recommended. Lessons are well explained and you get to do a lot of interesting exercises. Very great couse.
Vlad A.
It is exactly what I was searching for! I got excited lesson by lesson and, at the same time, it opens your mind. It showed me that my creativity and imagination are infinite. Bullseye. My confidence and my abilities has grown from 1% to 80% in a very short time and that 100% knows that I’m coming like a train after it. These lessons are best way to learn drawing technics fast and clean. I just love it!
Adina B.
I started taking this class last year, as a beginner, and my drawing skills have improved exponentially due to my tutor’s perseverence and desire to teach us architectural drawing.
He is a genuinely passionate and hard working teacher who cares about each student and offers individual feedback on every drawing, thus helping us improve and grow on so many levels.
I recommend this course to everyone interested in drawing and design, since it has helped me a lot to develop my drawing skills and creativity.
Mihaela L.
I have been in this class almost 2 years, and i can say with all my heart that i don`t regret that and i will nerver do. I`ve learnt a lot from Michael and i will ever be grateful to him. If you really want as much as possible about architecture or design I recommend him to you with all my faith.
Umberto M.
I'm really happy to write a positive review for the FreehandArchitecture course. First of all I congratulate Michele, for the great advice and for his cordiality in explaining things, all perfect for the photos and videos I saw on the site,
I started that I had no experience with free hand perspectives ... during these months I have seen a considerable improvement in this aspect with an unexpected naturalness.
Surely, I would highly recommend to everyone this wonderful experience not only for the course itself but also for the seriousness and professionalism of Michael always and only determined to make you reach your goal!!!
Vlad C.
I’ve learned so many things about architecture and design for the past 9 months. I am really glad I took part of Michael’s courses and I would happly recommend them to anyone who is interested in architecture!
Florentina N.
I have truly enjoyed the FreehandArchitecture class.I've been taking this course last year and every lesson helped me improving my drawing.This course will take you from having little knowledge in drawing to creating advanced architecture drawings with deep understanding of drawing fundamentals.You only need to be patient,persistent and motivate to achieve really good skills.
Andra B.
I`m really happy to say that with the help of Freehand Architecture course and with the support and guidance of Michael I`ve managed to improve my drawing and be better at it . I`ve accomplished in a short period alot more then I hoped too and he helped me materialise my dream and get into the university I always dreamed for. Thank you, Michael !
I will recommend this course to all my friends and acquaintances 
Madalina M.
Your lessons were all I needed to learn the design of architecture and not only. With their help, I managed to learn in 7 months how to draw expressively and sensitively, and the drawings I am doing now, with everything I have learned are even better than those my friends do after studying 4 years at the art high school.
Bianca N.
Thank you so much for what you have learnt me, I'm glad I met you, you changed my life and for me your opinion will always count!

Questions I usually get from all my students:
Can I start with zero experience in drawing?
Do I need any special tools and materials?
Do I need talent in order to get good at architectural drawing?
Can I start this course if I already am an architect?
Why do I need this course, in particular? I can learn arch drawing from a book…
I already bought many online courses and I couldn’t get any results. Why will it work this time?
How can I send feedback to you?
Why is it so expensive?
How does the personalised feedback work?
Can I get my own unique drawing style?
Why do I need to learn architectural drawing?
I already know how to draw. What can your course do for me?
Can I get better at architecture from studying this material?
Will I know architectural drawing after finishing the course?
Can I go through the course multiple times?
I really wanted to learn arch drawing and failed at it every time. What will make this course work for me?
How many students did you have that started from zero?
What If I already have my unique artist’s vision and drawing abilities?
Does the material in this course apply for artists?
How much study time per day do I need to put it?
What if I have another 200 questions?
Can I repair/upgrade my existing drawing abilities?
Does it matter to be good at architectural drawing?
How is this course different than other things out there?
15 minutes from now…
You already started your first perspective sketch (even if you went through the free course, it will feel different this time. If you can make this happen, then you can make it happen with all the other (much more difficult) lessons.
1 week from now…
You already have experience with drawing both freehand and technical. The things that didn’t make sense to you now just work. You already studied and understand the inner game lesson on arch drawing. It is still difficult for you to commit to 1-2 hours of study time per week for 5 days/week. Even if you skip one day, drawing is starting to feel natural to you.
2 weeks from now…
You get the first 100% proper ‘wow, did I make this drawing?!’ moment. All good, we will have many more of those until the course is over.
Arch drawing is a habit for you - it works almost on autopilot. You don’t have to think about it, it just comes natural to you.
1 month from now…
You have no clue what you like more - freehand or technical drawing? You already are feeling confident in your abilities and can choose to stop at this level where you are ok… but why stop something that’s working. 1-2 hours of study time/week. Yeeey.
You already start seeing cast shadows as you walk on the street - that is weird but cool at the same time.
2 months from now…
You are better than anyone you have ever met in terms of drawing architecture. Even if you had maybe that one colleague in uni that was good at marker graphics… you can tell that was their only trick. You start to enjoy of getting your brain fried with every lesson… simply because you know it is followed by a massive upgrade in your abilities.
Technical an freehand work in tandem and give you a solid drawing style.
3 months from now…
You have officially graduated the arch drawing academy. BUT, there’s still so much to do - you can go for the course 2 more times in a row - as advanced and as you deconstructing each lesson.
Your line drawing is very precise, there’s only a vague memory of you ever thinking ‘my freehand line drawing is very bad/not precise’.
I am not like any of the tutors you had before...
I’ve been where you are right now… I remember how architecture school felt like complete sh*t when I was bad at drawing. And how it changed COMPLETELY when I started getting good at sketching and graphics.
Or the things that didn’t make sense and there was nobody there to explain them properly. Just more and more vague advice…
You will learn from me 5-10 times more than you’ve learned from any other tutor - from the way I structured the lessons AND the precise, custom feedback I give you.
The reason why I get all my students results is because I excel at being there with them at the bad times - when there’s chaos, fear, things bombarding you from 20 different directions etc.
My feedback always hits the mark - it might seem harsh because it forces you to face your personal limitations… But that is the trick with architectural drawing. If you keep moving forwards, every day… then you will get where you want to be.
You don’t know me, you probably just interacted with my materials… but I assure you that is enough to prove a point: this is when your life will change and your drawing abilities evolve.
Get the course and I will see you on the other side!
