This book focuses on the three key types of drawing, explanatory sketches, notational sketches and visual narratives that help designers think through and communicate their ideas. Through these three fundamentals, Drawing Ideas provides a thorough course in creating clear graphic layouts and diagrams, including expressive human forms, thumbnailing a process, adding effective colour and text and more. In addition, a drawing boot camp provides a refesher course in accurately drawing geometric forms. By getting back to the basics, readers will not only benefit from updated freehand drawing skills, but will also succeed in presenting and explaining their drawings and designs to others.
