5Only Book Of Its Kind  Jan 09, 2007 By Nancy Kingston
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.

5Great update to a wonderful book!  Feb 20, 2009 By Draw4Luv "Luv2Draw"
The 3rd edition of Doyle's fantastic Color Drawing is far more than just a cosmetic update! The tried-and-true marker and color techniques are still there, but with new twists and tricks. From quick study sketches to final renderings, he will help you be a better communicator. Best of all, the author offers up loads of great information on editing and enhancing traditional drawings with Photoshop!

Every design student AND practicing professional should keep a copy of this right next to his/her workspace...

5Amazing!  Feb 29, 2008 By E. Hurley "Elle"
I am a beginning artist. I am especially interested in drawing. This book has fabulous examples of using marker, pastel and colored pencil for bringing a drawing to the next level. The ideas brought forth are exactly what I have been searching for. The book also has references to other books which I have acquired. I also use graphic programs at work. This book takes a hand drawing into Photoshop for the next level as well. Awesome book!

5great book  Feb 19, 2007 By Jennifer L. Napieralski "Interiors girl"
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.

4Great for beginners  Dec 16, 2008 By Cody Bornsheuer "cbornsh2"
This book is a great resource for anyone wanting to learn how to render. Detailed descriptions of method and proper media drastically shallows the learning curve in hand drawing.

A MUST HAVE FOR ART/ARCHITECTURE/INDUSTRIAL DESIGN STUDENTS
