• 1. Understanding the Project

    The process begins with a thoroughly understanding the project. The client provides a 3D model and design narrative to start the collaboration. Together, we define the story, strategize view angles, and set the mood of the illustration. The client selects the most suitable draft views to represent the design concept effectively.

  • 2. Crafting the Drawing

    After the view selection is finalized, we proceed to create the preliminary drawing. This stage lays the foundation of the illustration, and the client has the opportunity to request revisions to reflect any design updates. This is where the core of the concept begins to take shape, setting the stage for the final piece.

  • 3. Refining the Linework

    With the composition approved, the next step focuses on refining the linework. This involves meticulously detailing every element of the drawing to ensure clarity, precision, and alignment with the design intent. The refined linework serves as the structural backbone of the final illustration, ready for final touches and enhancements.

  • 4. Bringing the Story to Life

    In the final step, the drawing is brought to life. Any last adjustments to the linework are made, and digital coloring is applied to add depth, mood, and vibrancy. The result is a carefully crafted illustration that effectively communicates the client’s architectural concept as a clear and compelling visual story.
