P R E F A C E
This book evolved from a course I developed in interior
design graphics. I started my career as an interior
designer and architectural renderer in New York City in
1969. I first taught graphics for interior designers in 1970.
Over the years, I have relied on texts by many graphic
educators, including Kirby Lockard, Edward T. White, and
Paul Leaseau.
A number of choices were available to me as textbooks
for my new course, but I soon realized I would need
several that covered a great deal of nonrelated material.
Most books on graphics attempt to be far too
comprehensive and fail to meet specific needs. I then
produced a booklet to meet my specific requirements
based on my own professional experience and drawings.
That booklet evolved into the original book.
The three main areas of emphasis in this text are still
sketching, design drawing, and the drawing process.
These are the most critical areas related to the designer’s
ability to design and communicate. The text takes a
monochromatic approach since color technique is the
subject of another course in the graphic series. However,
the basics of this text are the foundation for success in
color renderings.
The text is intended for interior design students but is
pertinent for many other design students and
professionals.
Intended as a primer, it shows simple techniques and
skills related to sketching, design development, and the
schematic or preliminary phase of design presentation.
These simple techniques are of great benefit to the
professional.
