Customer Reviews

Great for all budding product designers!!
I'm currently studying for A-levels, and haven't had the chance to use this book to its full potential as we only really use marker pens in our sketching. However, I am certain that when I begin studying at degree level this book will provide me with an excellent resource for learning how to present my ideas and drawings beautifuly. This is a must for all Product/Graphic designers.

Longstanding reference for marker techniques
The Dick Powell style in marker rendering has become well recognised in product design illustration. This book will provide the beginner with useful information and techniques in markers and some other media. It's not really that broad and it's not really that deep but it's a good solid place to start, based on the skills and experience of an internationally respected designer.
