hi brent – sketches i will do directly onto watercolor paper. but more complex drawings can be done on vellum or trace, scanned and then printed onto even very heavy wc paper using the (awesome!)epson 3800 printer – amazing – looks just like an original pencil drawing…

Good to be here!

How much do you charge for landscape concepts? This question is for everyone!

if you are doing watercolors by hand, what is the best way to get the architectural image onto a watercolor type paper?

Some answers to a some questions two pages back: I count L. Azeo Torre and William Kirby Lockard….hehe, and Reimon buyco….as inspirations. My weapon of choice for the draw? A Pilot Rollerball for fine lines, any felt tip pen (Pilot or Pentel) for medium weight lines, and any thick marker (Sharpie, inevitably)…all black. On tracing, or plain…[Read more]

Tatiana, the best method I found effective is to collect 50% up front then final payment before you release documents/drawings. Let them know up front and in most cases they will be OK with that.

How do you deal with a client who was in a hurry to get a project into his hands, but now is far behind with payment?

Great Group Brandon!

Hello everybody. I’m new to this group.
I’m doing 3D renderings for living. We use Rhino (favorite), Chief Architect and Photoshop.
What does Travis want to know about computer renderings?

I think I’m gonna’ like it in here! Anybody working in the MacOS environment with plan graphics & colour rendering?

You can get Piranesi for watercolour effects.

i want learn to colouring like watercolor in Photoshop, any ideas?

For me great design is:
1. Creating memory places
2. Creating a sense of place (genus loci)
3. Guardian of identity
4. Interest of users health, safety and welfare
What Mack mentioned is true for me as one who has had the experience on both sides, as the one to experience and admire and the one to create

Something that moves people, makes them stop and think “I wish I could do that, But even though I can’t… I am glad some one did it for me.”

Travis, yes, a lot of modeling and rendering. Pretty much any program I can get but mainly Maya, Rhino and Digital Projects.
