[Phil Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely superb reference for those who use traditional media in industrial design, architecture or, like me, just love to draw. Comprehensive and wonderfully illustrated (of course), this book provides all sorts of techniques for drawing with pencils, markers, crayons, pens, and chalks. A must have for traditional artists!

A great resource for colored drawing techniques specifically geared toward design rendering. Colored pencil, marker, and computer techniques for making convincing materials, light, and textures. The most detailed book on the subject that I've seen.
One complaint... not enough animals.
