Hi Vanessa; glad you’re having success with the colored pencil techniques. You have a good eye! I do use a cream pencil combined with peach on almost all buildings and hardscape at the very beginning of coloring a drawing, then wash over them with whatever color will best depict the material I’m envisioning…terra cotta, slate blue. etc. The…[Read more]

Nick,
Thanks! I’ll probably be doing more of these in the future and I would like to seed them be as representative of the true design as possible.

Thanks!

Eric-

I got your message. I need to make some evergreens for a plan tomorrow as fate would have it. I’ll post my steps here or shoot you a message.

Eric,

I couldn’t tell you how to do it using drop shadows, but I could offer some good advice on doing it manually in photoshop without creating numerous layer copies and keeping the file size down.

send me a message if you still need help with this and I’ll explain some simple tricks.

Great conversation and thoughts everybody.

For me I went straight to a design/build after graduation but that is because I wanted to go that direction. I also spent 3 summers in the field doing the labor prior to graduation. No experience with a design only firm.

Correct me if I’m wrong but in most cases I design only firm doesn’t begin to deal…[Read more]

Tim, Jay, and others –

Just found this group, and am happy to see it exists. I am actually one of the Masters students you spoke about who is lacking direct landscape construction experience. I agree wholeheartedly with the comments, and see this as a huge problem. Do you have any suggestions on the best methods for acquiring this experience?…[Read more]

Does anyone have good method for doing evergreen shadows in photoshop with the drop shadow?

Vanessa Ruiz posted an update in the group Graphics 16 years ago

James Richards is great. I love his simple color palette. He blends darker colors in his lighter colors to make things look cohesive. For instance, he used carmine red and true blue (i think it was true blue) prismacolor color pencils over cream to create this really nice effect. So, the cream hardscape and buildings really popped after i tried to…[Read more]

Un sitio favorito mio es la playa de Naguabo. Por chance mi esposa y o pasamos por Naguabo al regresar a Fajardo. I wish I spent more time there but I didn’t as it was a vacation and not so much an opportunity to study spaces. My wife would have drown me en el mar if we stopped so I could sketch and study. Naguabo isn’t so much my favorite place…[Read more]

Thanks for your observations. Me lamento que yo no pasara por Guanica cuando yo estaba en PR. Mucha gente me decian buenas cosas de Guanica. What type of tree is the purple flowering one that looks like a flamboyan? I only saw two the time I lived there. How come?

Educando a los no-educados:

El pasado martes, mientras le daba una ayuda a una joven estudiante de arquitectura paisajista en su proyecto de Tesis, me comentó sobre este Blog discutía sobre “Pendejismo paisajista”. Luego de finalizada la crítica, mientras trabajaba en varias propuestas decidí revisarlo. Hubo varias cosas que me llamaron la aten…[Read more]

So much to learn from you lot, hopefully contribute some stuff that may be of interest. All abstract and still learning the basics of Vector/sketch up etc. Being a Mac user can you survive with out AutoCad? ( can’t do the Windows Geekdom thing)
