Book description

Designed to help architects, planners, and landscape architects use
freehand sketching to quickly and creatively generate design concepts,
Freehand Drawing and Discovery
uses an array of cross-disciplinary examples to help readers develop
their drawing skills. Taking a "both/and" approach, this book

offers practical suggestions on how to use these skills in conjunction
with digital tools on real-world projects. Illustrated with nearly 300
full color drawings, the book includes a series of video demonstrations
that reinforces the sketching techniques.
