process

Each project will require a different technique and style depending on the designer requirement and the client criteria, but it would likely start with these three simple steps...

Let’s start with your Sketchup model, shall we? (25-30% in)

My process begins by taking your Sketchup model and determining if It needs to be tweaked or add anything to help complete the whole picture. I could cleaning it to get to the workable size.

This step will require some amount of preparations to the model to get it ready for the next step including choosing the right view angle and also the right materials and entourage.

I offered used some basic plugin for Sketchup to improve the rendering results.

Adding my line works and layering everything in Photoshop... (additional 15-20% )

After we have all the components we need, then I’ll bring them into SketchUp and layering them accordingly.

In some cases, I even draw the line works by hand to give a little more personal touch and character to it.

Let's the magic happen! (remaining 55%)

This step requires a lot of personal touches and aesthetic sense from the illustrator to help the designer and the client visualize the space and to give them a better understanding of also functions of the people who will be using it.

Using Photoshop is fun! The more time you spend, the better it gets, but in most cases, time is the luxury our clients can not afford.

Believe me when I said experience and keen observation skills help speed up this process Immensely. Therefore we can spend more time toward perfection!
