Going over the proofs

Comments from the copyeditor, comments from reviewers …everyone has an opinion. Getting a book out is no mean feat.

Pocket Sketch Notebook

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

One of my assignments is to ask students to carry a pocket-size notebook and tape measure, and measure/record two things a day. This exercise helps them learn, and consequently internalize, sizes. Another assignment is to orthographically sketch everyday items. This helps them understand the relationship between 2D and 3D. 

This image is from a student notebook, one of several in my upcoming book, Drafting and Visual Presentation for Interior Designers.
