Joe, I wonder if you'd like to help me co-write a few tips for my young fans on designing and drawing buildings, if you get a few minutes. Anything you can pass along would be a start! Joe Mashburn: Sure, where would you like to start, this is a really broad subject. C Lue Disharoon I'm sure! Maybe start off in two parts...a book or site you recommend...some notes from your own learning process...i'm trying to think of how to apply it to illustration. But you never know: you might launch some kid down the path towards architecture! Tanks. Joe : I would start with "Drawing with the right side of your brain" also "The Old Way of Seeing" . These are great books about design and creativity. Also "The Field Guide to American Houses" is a book about the evolution of houses in Amerca. Two great Institutes are the American Institute of Architects and the AIBD (look at there websites). They help self regulate our profession. They also promote creativity...
