Drawing Shortcuts: Developing Quick Drawing Skills Using Today's Technology
Editorial Reviews Review A Denver architect has taken on a big task - teaching his colleagues how to draw again. According to Jim Leggitt, an architect and urban designer at Denver's RNL Design, there is a growing absence of architects in today's design marketplace who can draw by hand. In an effort to re-educate architects about the art and benefits of hand-drawing, Leggitt has written a book titled Drawing Shortcuts: Developing Quick Drawing Skills Using Today's Technology. The book grew out of Leggitt's years of experience on the subject, including his presentations on the topic of "Drawing Shortcuts" at several national seminars, most recently at the 2000 National AIA Convention held in Philadelphia.
