I am Daniel R. Mitchell, a chartered architect and professional artist specialising in architectural illustrations and artistic services. Born in 1987, I earned a BA(Hons) degree in Architecture from the Hull School of Art & Design in 2013 before furthering my studies at Sheffield Hallam University, where I completed my Master of Architecture (MArch) degree in 2020. I then undertook my final stage of architectural training at the University of Huddersfield, officially qualifying as an architect in December 2021.

Throughout my career, I have seamlessly blended my skills as both an architect and an artist, using each discipline to inform and enhance the other. My architectural training has given me a deep understanding of space, structure, and perspective, while my artistic practice allows me to capture the atmosphere, energy, and emotion of the built environment. Whether designing buildings or illustrating cityscapes, I combine precision with creative expression - balancing technical accuracy with a dynamic, free-flowing style. Strong lines of perspective, bold strokes of colour, and fluid washes bring my work to life, whether I am visualising a future project or documenting the character existing place. This dual perspective enables me to communicate architecture in a way that is both engaging and evocative, transforming complex designs into compelling visual narratives.

Now, I am combining my expertise in architecture and art to offer hand-drawn digital architectural illustrations. I can create aerial perspectives, eye-level views, sectional drawings, diagrams, and illustrative plans that enhance architectural presentations, competitions, and marketing materials. My work provides a compelling alternative to CGI, offering a more artistic, engaging, and intuitive way to visualise design concepts.

Whether you’re an architect, developer, or designer, I aim to help you communicate your ideas with clarity and impact, bringing your projects to life through illustration.
