Renaissance architects used pen and ink to create sketches and drawings of their designs. These drawings were used to communicate their ideas to clients and other colleagues. The architects would use different styles of line work, shading, and cross-hatching to create depth and details in their designs. They would also use symbols and annotations to indicate materials, measurements, and other important information. Renaissance architects were known for their beautiful and precise drawings, which helped establish their reputation as skilled and artistic professionals.
