Synopsis
This book is for design students and designers wanting to improve their presentation skills in line drawings and the ability to quickly redefine their drawing/drafting skills. The author pulls from her professional and academic experience to show readers how to create beautiful detailed interior design drawings to share with clients. Students will be shown by detailed examples how to render furniture, floors, walls, windows, plants, etc., in floor plans and elevations, using only drafting pencils, a T-square, and a triangle. The text covers the complete process, beginning with instructions on how to line up a T-square on the paper to easily set up and work on any drafting board, how to properly use tracing paper, layering to expand design ideas, all the way through a complete drawing that represents a designer’s ideas and concepts.
