Architectural Rendering

Crowe (president of the UK Society of Architectural and Industrial Illustrators) describes the basic principles of architectural rendering, explains the development of content and composition, discusses perspective drawing, and explores the full range of both the media and the techniques involved from the initial layout sketches through drawing and shading to watercolor, felt-tip, colored pencil, ink, and even CADD rendering. He includes a step-by-step demonstration of works in progress (in all media) from the initial concept to the finished rendering. In addition, he presents a portfolio of the work of leading international practitioners to show the range and quality of the illustrator's art. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
