I love the format of this book - broken up into sections such as "Marker Rendering Basics", and "Illustrating Architectural and Interior Elements" - and within each of these sections, a series of questions and answers. For example, the first 'lesson' asks the question "What are the advantages of using ink line and colour markers for design presentaions?" - and goes on to discuss this - and each of these 'lessons' has a box giving suggested practice and / or tips, tricks, warnings, shortcuts etc. The illustrations are both attractive and useful throughout, and overall I found it not only a great introduction to the subject, but also very enjoyable too!

I absolutely love this book!

Format:Hardcover
This book got me through architectural school. Hand renderings were never my strong point until I got this book. My rendering skills went up considerably (along with my confidence and grades) and I still reference this book today in my professional career. The book gives great examples and the tips from the professionals are very informative. This is definately one of the best books on how to make professional looking presentations.

This book was very helpful in showing me different rendering techniques used by varying artists. From minimalist, neutral shading to full blown, vibrant color renderings, this book covered them all.
Great tips on which marker colors to use to achieve a particular 'look'...such as glass, metal, wood, etc.
Highly recommend.

The question and answer format of this book is useful and allows a different kind of organization to its contents. It also incorporates the work of a broad cross-section of designers. This allows the editors to expose you to many of the best in different fields in which markers are used to increase the effectiveness of visual communication. While certainly useful for the beginner, it will also stimulate the more experienced designer.
