The importance of freehand drawing for educating architects is often underestimated. However, this craft is essential for any designer. The act of drawing shows you how to see and observe. It helps develop spatial imagination. A design idea can be quickly and easily clarified and displayed in only a few strokes. The sketch in perspective is vital in design presentations whether at the design academy or in meetings with contractors - every architect needs to master this craft. Basics Freehand Drawing explains step-by-step how to develop a perspective drawing from the initial structure of the image to various drawing techniques and use of color. It also shows in numerous color illustrations different drawing techniques and examples of presenting perspective drawings of buildings, interiors, and details.
This is a fantastic guide to freehand drawing and drafting written by Max Kushlan. Profusely illustrated and highly accessible, "Free Hand Drawing and Designing" will be of considerable utility to modern readers with an interest in technical drawing and illustration, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Straight Lines", "Curved Lines", "Geometrical Bodies", "Perspective Drawing", "Technical Illustrations", "Technical Sketching", and "Engineering Drawing". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on technical drawing and drafting.
Engineers will appreciate this guide's emphasis on sketching for computer solid modeling, which is just part of the book's comprehensive coverage of freehand sketching concepts and procedures.
