Synopsis

With their parallel lines and lack of vanishing-point perspective, axonometrics and obliques provide a clear, uncluttered vehicle for communicating spatial impact and the totality of a design idea. This first-ever complete designers and renderer’s guide to creating presentation-quality axonometric and paraline drawings offers richly illustrated, step-by-step methods for constructing this popular form and putting it to use. Filled with techniques and useful tips, Axonometric and Oblique Drawing also features an international portfolio of award-winning drawings by renowned design professionals. This indispensable and richly illustrated guide is not only a reference for drawing techniques, but a rich source of design concepts, inspiration, and practical instruction.

About this title

Synopsis

This first-time guide to the technique of axonometric drawing focuses exclusively on how to construct such drawings and put them to work. Chapters progress from basic paraline drawing through rendering, presentation, composition, layout, text, reprographic techniques, and fully integrated presentations. There are explanations of how to integrate axonometrics into other drawings for greater emphasis and dramatization; and in addition, a large portfolio of finisghed design and presentation drawings is included, with an explanatory text of how each was created. A chapter on freehand drawing helps users render with technical or fine-point felt-tipped pens.
