I personally would go with Autocad over Vectorworks for a couple reasons. To start, Autocad is the industry standard as far as drafting goes so alot more people know the program. Also, as more schools push digital rendering, more and more students are using software like 3ds Max and Revit which don’t play well with Vectorworks linework. On the…[Read more]

I’ve just started a one-person design firm specializing in residential. I’m trying to decide between the various cad programs and think Vectorworks would be the best fit for me. I have owned EaglePoint LandCADD (2000) but was running with its stand-alone cad engine (not AutoCAD). Now, years later, I’m really thinking it’s time to try again with…[Read more]

ya the day I was supposed to come visit the mountains near me got 28 inches, it was amazing. ya i will keep that gradual change in mind for my next one it also looks darker on here because auto levels on photoshop is a bit over kill. but i definately didnt need to pick up the scarlet when doing the brick work i wanted to tear it up as soon as i did that

Likewise! i need to work on my colors though i have a tendency to go way too bold. how was seattle?

heck why not…. i will throw a couple up there. these are using chartpak markers and colored pencil

For sure. I do have some of my drawings posted on my profile if you would like to check them out. I will post them soon though.

very nice renderings. I’ll definately get some of mine posted soon.

maybe we can do it right now…the sooner the better…who want to share their artwork first?…

Let me know if you decide to do the graphic comparison/evaluation. I’d love to take part.

copic all the way you cant get a better marker. If you look at all the top graphic illustrators they all use copic for a reason. they are the bomb digity

A year plus ago I attended Richard Scott’s Accurate Freehand Persepective Drawing class in San Francisco and found him to be one of the clearest art teachers I’ve ever had. It was not an easy class, but he was so calm and insightful. He gave very specific instruction with steps to follow. What stands out the most is how much he enjoys what he does.

I was fortunate enough to take Richard Scott’s rendering classes in school at Cal Poly Pomona and a water coloring class with him in Florence.

The man is brilliant. He completely understands the art and the science of color, perspective and technique and knows how to utilize them very well. I would more than recommend taking any courses you can…[Read more]

Mark,
I’m taking Richard Scott’s Graphic Workshop this weekend in Philly. While I’m happy with my graphics I think its important to explore new options. I’ll let you know what I think after this weekend.

please visit my account and look for my gallery, i used ad chartpak markers for my renderings.

Good idea Brandon. I’m in!

i think i agree with you..then we can evaluate each other…

I have an idea for all of you graphics enthusiasts…..maybe we should all render the same graphic using our techniques and compare and contrast all of our different styles and influences…..Does anyone have any thoughts on this idea? I am open to any suggestions as well!

Elif;
All the ideas written to you are good/great. I would also like to add how important relationships are, especially the more involved/complicated/pricey a job goes.

History shows that the great designers were also people who were great “relaters”. Be personable, be authentic, be passionate, and be honest with your clients . . . it’ll carry…[Read more]
