The Art of Architectural Illustration

Custom Search
 
   
Architectural Illustration is a "Vocation" in which not everybody can attain. The Architectural Illustrator, whether traditional or digital media, is a rare breed of design professional, whose commitment to excellence has elevated its practice to a secular level.

The Architectural Illustrator is the person who doesn't distinguish night from day, for he is consumed by the process of creation, making something out of nothing. At this moment, time stands still, nothing matters except "evolution".

 

So, What made this Architectural Illustrator choose to draw rather than design? Is it the instant gratification of creating, rather than waiting until the structure materialize. Or is it illustrators impulse to view the world in his own perspective, on how he sees the world.
