21 October 2022 A few weeks ago I published a pencil illustration of a back porch addition. This is a design presentation drawing of the interior portion of that same remodeling project, specifically of a new proposed relocated kitchen. (#2 pencil on white tracing paper). Pencil drawings like this are fairly quick to make and I love seeing some of …
From 2020, this drawing (ink liners and gray markers on yellow trace paper) depicts a proposed kitchen remodeling for a 1950’s ranch house in Cincinnati. I look at standard ranches from that era as blank slates to be opened up and improved upon!
This is another one of my recent design drawings (ink liners,pastels and colored pencils on yellow trace paper). The project was an open covered porch addition to a house here in Cincinnati. Love the idea of a deep purple painted wood porch up against a buff colored brick house. Happy September!
From my continuing series of illustrations and architectural drawings…. In 2006, I received a fantastic commission for a house near Cashiers, North Carolina. I made this drawing (pen and color markers on newsprint) of one corner of the kitchen during the design phase. I wanted to show my client how the windows, cabinetry and natural light were going to work …
This drawing of my Mountain House design from 2006 is both a design elevation and a site section. (pen and ink, gray markers and pencil on yellow trace paper). A site section drawing describes a cut through the ground, in this case showing a building elevation beyond the cut. Although it is rendered with shade and shadow and depicted with …
This month I wanted you to see a drawing that I made to illustrate part of a large residential remodeling project. (#2 pencil and prismacolor pencils on white trace paper) This was done quickly, probably executed in about an hour or so. It was effective though both in helping me understand and showing my client the basic idea of this …
While thinking about drawings I’ve made over the last 30 years to include in this drawing series, I came across a sketchbook that had this imaginary street scene in it (pencil on sketch paper). The drawing is dated May, 1992 and was done simply for the pleasure of it. A car that looks something like an AMC Pacer is zipping along …
This month’s drawing (#2 pencil and colored pencil on yellow trace paper) was part of a design proposal for a residential addition and renovation project dating to 2001. This was to be a light filled space with large windows looking out to a wooded green lot. It is important to set up a drawing like this so that the observer’s …
This month’s illustration: Some years back, a firm where I was employed wanted to secure the design commission to add floors to an existing building in downtown Cincinnati. I was asked to depict the street facade in this illustration (pen, colored markers and pastel on paper). This was a special challenge because this drawing was pre-design. Although the existing building was there …
One more in my continuing series: The illustration this time was of a hair salon interior designed by a colleague of mine. The task here was to represent the exact materials, furniture and finishes that had already been specified. Using markers, colored pencils, pastels and collage on white paper I wanted to emphasize the fun and playful nature of this …
