Summary:

"Renowned architectural illustrator Albert Lorenz has been creating his remarkable , highly detailed pen-and-ink drawings for more than twenty years. His clients have included the New York Times, the Commodities Exchange, the Brooklyn Museum, Ogilvy and Mather Advertising, Gwathmey Siegel Architects, and the City of New York. The "Lorenz method" - an intricate process of overlaying lines and stippling to produce textures, shades, and shadows - results in drawings with a distinctive, highly recognizable style familiar to architects and illustrators everywhere. In this book Lorenz explains how he developed this successful drawing technique and how you can adapt his proven methods to your own work. He first takes you step by step through the initial stages of setting up your studio and choosing appropriate tools and equipment. Next, he presents over 200 of his own final, polished drawings and gives you a detailed account of how each was achieved. For each example he explains that the desired effect was, which medium was used, and the illustrating steps involved. He discusses the applications of linework and value, shade and shadow, perspective, color, texture, and much more. This unique, visual approach enables you to better understand the illustration process by using this seasoned professional's work to demonstrate the necessary applied techniques. If you wish to improve your rendering skills, you will want this sourcebook of illustrating techniques close at hand." -- Dust Jacket.
