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.

“The greatest designer is normal people—the best cities in the world were not designed” – my frien i think we may include that in the design category. not in the academic kind, but in the category of the design made by specific needs of people, but is design.
if t. Church said that the gardens are made for people (and…[Read more]

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.

to justin, u were refering to the brownfield site. a master thesis by ledrew s.p from the university of calgary, an ecological design approach to urban landscape reconstruction might be helpful.

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!

Hi Barlow…hmmmmmmm sweeping statement, but none the less there is some merit in what you say, but surely it is not simply an american[USA] problem. I guess it depends on whose work you are looking at, and at what stage they are at in their careers. It takes time to develop individuality.

Dear Brandon and others;
Why are all american sketches the same and why are all american designs the same? It’s like copy – paste.

hi justin…why dont you look at landscape park duisburg nord in german…maybe it will help you for your case study

i am a landscape architecture student working on my senior project, which is a brownfield site ( old glass manufacture), and curious to see if any one had unique design, mitigation techniques and or a case study or to i should look in to.

Nice group. I look forward to sharing in discussion

I prefer generation hand drawn perspectives in pencil, then overlay with white trash using Pentel Sign Pen for line work and Chart Pak for color.
