4.0 out of 5 stars Back to Basics, September 25, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rendering With Pen and Ink (The Thames and Hudson Manuals) (Paperback)
This book shows how designers and architects used to work with pen and paper.
The skill required to draw plans or objects using these techniques are being lost to computer work.
I believe all designers should know how to produce drawings without CAD.
One book for the library and a great reference manual A +

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, Understandable step by step -all skill levels, July 13, 2009

This review is from: Rendering With Pen and Ink (The Thames and Hudson Manuals) (Paperback)
There are a lot of books on how to draw on the market, I have a shelf full of them. The frustrating thing is when you actually try to reproduce the work to develop your skill; somehow it isn't as easy as it looks. What I enjoy about this book is it shows step by step progression of different people in different poses, from stick figure to fully clothed all by using a easy grid system. Likewise, as it takes you through a house and community it shows you grid layout then development. The layout is almost as if you were watching a cartoon being drawn, while a lot of other books do step by step, this book breaks drawing into smaller bites. I find it very helpful.
Please note, this comment is for the Revised and Enlarged Edition with the same ISBN, but my copy is the 1994 reprint (which shouldn't matter as long as you also purchase "Revised and Enlarged").
