Illustrated with over 200 colour images, it is a unique guide to the work of the architectural illustrator and will be invaluable for artists, illustrators, architects, builders and planners. Instruction is given on drawing methods and processes, good composition and effective use of colour, and detailed diagrams show how to set up a perspective drawing by hand and using 3D modelling. Worked examples and step-by-step sequences explain the fundamentals of architectural illustration and case studies follow the process of an illustration, using demonstrations specially selected from the author’s own work and profiles of leading practitioners.
