The debate surrounding hand drawing versus computer-generated imagery
has become a hot topic. Having grown up with computers, todays interior
design and architecture students are extremely adept at creating
computer imagery, but often lack confidence in their freehand sketching
skills, or do not know how to sketch at all. Sketching, and the careful
observation that it entails, is essential for the successful development
of the next generation of designers. Forty-five step-by-step exercises
take the student from the simple threedimensional forms of furniture, to
interiors, to complex building exteriors and cityscapes. Technical
topics covered include tools, line weights, perspective, proportion,
composition, shading, serial views and context. Exercises are
illustrated with beautiful sketches specially created by the author.
Sketching for Architecture and Interior Design is an indispensable and
practical guide for students wishing to master the art of looking and
sketching.
