Drafting book for Design StudentsBy SaraWhile Ching does cover some aspects of drawing outside of those needed for drafting; the primary focus is on architectural drafting. This is a technical book intended for design students. It is not a do-it-yourself learn-to-draw manual. Most often; this book will be a textbook in a design class. As such; it is excellent. The instructions are clear and well written; the drawings are simple and easy to follow; the flow of the book is natural; building from very simple to more and more complex drafting skills. This book can take you from elementary drafting skills to advanced if you use it as intended. All in all; this is an excellent book on design drawing. I highly recommend it for anyone entering the design field.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
