THE CLASSIC GUIDE TO DRAWING FOR DESIGNERS, REVISED AND UPDATED TO
INCLUDE CURRENT DIGITAL-DRAWING TECHNIQUES
Hand drawing is an integral part of the design process and central to
the architecture profession. An architect's precise interpretation and
freedom of expression are captured through hand drawing, and it is
perhaps the most fundamental skill that the designer must develop in
order to communicate thoughts and ideas effectively. In his distinctive
style, world-renowned author Francis D. K. Ching presents Design
Drawing, Third Edition, the classic guide to hand drawing that clearly
demonstrates how to use drawing as a practical tool for formulating and
working through design problems. While digital tools continue to evolve,
this Third Edition includes new illustrations and information on the
latest digital-drawing techniques.

line, shape, tone, and space. Guiding the reader step-by-step through
