Design Drawing, 3rd Edition

This is a most helpful text, supplemented with illustration and helpful exercises. I think its appeal is wider than the stated audience and would be helpful for a variety of uses, including drawing and fine art students and hobbyists. One of my most successful purchases!

This is the best way to get into "technical drawing". Brilliant illustrations tips and information. A must for the student architect or designer. There was a problem with the delivery it was left at another address and that person delivered it to me this morning

A present for granddaughter for uni.

A defacto guide to setting the scene, we've been using points in this book to improve our scene graph construction in 3d graphics, but it's a whole lot more for the architect, concept artist, technical draftsman even a budding amateur this rich informative and critically accessible text takes you through it all. It's critical to take a brief pass through and then cherry pick a chapter to follow closely. Along the way we are accompanied by clear diagrams (this may sound a no brainer, but sometimes technical drawing is itself hard to communicate) this text gets it right. The binding, font and style aren't daunting it's actually a welcome change of pace to study from.

This is the third edition of Design Drawing by Francis Ching and Steven Juroszek and has been completed updated, although there was little lacking before. In paperback format, the four hundred pages are full of sensible and concise information. The writing is not a chatty, just-get-your-pencil style and I prefer the most realistic approach. There are no colour photographs but the book is not weaker nor less useful for that. Design Drawing is about just that - drawing for design, with the main focus on architectural work. The content is all meat, without padding or waffle and serious students cannot help but find it an essential. It is clearly laid out and a pleasure to use. Expensive? Not for what you get. When you work out how many hours you will use this book and how much you can learn from it, it is a bargain.

This is a good book to lead you into technical and architectural drawing and includes hand-drawn and digital works. It lays out the basics in a clear and concise way. The illustrations are well placed and the overall design of the book is good.

A really focused and detailed book on design drawing. Covering technique, style and application in considerable depth with a great deal of examples and practical work throughs. Really superb and highly recommended.

This is a superb text for any design, tech drawing or architecture students. It includes both hand drawing and digital, so is totally up to date with current skill requirements. It covers not only design drawing as a skill but as a tool to help the imagination and intuition solve problems that need to be visualised to bring clarity. The style is direct and practical and you really feel you are being educated by experts as you work your way through each chapter and each exercise.

Great reference book. I use it in my drawing classes.
