5 out of 5 stars great book   February 19, 2007
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I am an Interior Design major and my professor recommended this book for the use of Prismacolor markers. It gives you great advice on how to render (coloring using the Prismacolor markers to show colors and shadows) and different techniques so you can get the effect you want.


3 out of 5 stars Good Reference Book   February 7, 2007
  2 out of 8 found this review helpful

This book is a great reference book if you'd like to learn historical techniques used in rendering, such as diazo printing, as well as for basic guidance using Photoshop for rendering. However, I highly recommend using the 3rd edition along with a current Photoshop tutorial, or other rendering software for utilizing current digital techniques (all of the outdated Photoshop instructions have been removed from the 3rd edition).


5 out of 5 stars Color Drawing by Doyle   January 9, 2007
  4 out of 5 found this review helpful

Inspirational book by industry legend. A great resource for certain design professionals. Doyle shows how he does it with supurb examples. He skims over some of the technical reprographic issues; unless you work next door to a copy shop or have tens of thousands of dollars of large format reprographic equipment at your disposal it would be difficult to work at this level. He also doesn't mention the extreme amount of talent needed to create work of the quality shown in the book. But for design professionals striving to create the best possible presentation drawings, this book is a must purchase!


5 out of 5 stars Only Book Of Its Kind   January 9, 2007
  13 out of 13 found this review helpful

I'm thrilled that I finally have a book that tells how to digitally as well as manually color architectural and landscape drawings. It gives tips on using a scanner to get drawings or photographs into a layer of Photoshop and then how to manipulate the layers including opacity and filters. The technics for using markers and colored pencils to achieve realistic wood, rocks,leaves, water, and chrome are outstanding. Includes great tips on paper colors, and what to include or leave out of a drawing to give it visual punch. The entire 414 pages are drawings and tips specifically dedicated to the needs of architects, landscape architects, and interior designers though any graphic person would find tremendous value in this book.
