From the Inside Flap

Marker Magic The Rendering Problem Solver for Designers McGarry Madsen Architects, interior designers, artists, and illustrators take note—if you’ve ever found yourself searching for that creative spark that could make your design presentations take on a new life, or you need to draw a wood treatment, and you don’t know how-Marker Magic has easy-to follow solutions for all of your design problems.

  • 40 mini-lessons, many with step-by-step demonstrations, of solutions to everyday rendering problems
  • specific color combinations for help in rendering hard-to-draw items
  • profiles from top professionals with examples of their best work

5.0 out of 5 stars I absolutely love this book!, Jun 19 2004

This review is from: Marker Magic: The Rendering Problem Solver for Designers (Hardcover)
This book got me through architectural school. Hand renderings were never my strong point until I got this book. My rendering skills went up considerably (along with my confidence and grades) and I still reference this book today in my professional career. The book gives great examples and the tips from the professionals are very informative. This is definately one of the best books on how to make profession looking presentations.

This review is from: Marker Magic: The Rendering Problem Solver for Designers (Hardcover)
The question and answer format of this book is useful and allows a different kind of organization to its contents. It also incorporates the work of a broad cross-section of designers. This allows the editors to expose you to many of the best in different fields in which markers are used to increase the effectiveness of visual communication. While certainly useful for the beginner, it will also stimulate the more experienced designer.

This review is from: Marker Magic: The Rendering Problem Solver for Designers (Hardcover)
This book was very helpful in showing me different rendering techniques used by varying artists. From minimalist, neutral shading to full blown, vibrant color renderings, this book covered them all.

Great tips on which marker colors to use to achieve a particular 'look'...such as glass, metal, wood, etc.

Highly recommend.
