Hand Drawing/Photoshop Hybrid - Interior Perspective

Step 1: Red Pencil Blockout. Red pencil blockout was drawn over a printed view from the Revit Model. Drawing is on trace and was taped over a black and white print. Using a straightedge, I added massings of the couches, chairs, and articulation in the ceiling and hallway openings. The blockout phase allowed me to try out a number of different seating options and ceiling designs quickly before committing them to a final black ink drawing (20 minutes)

Step 2: Overlay Ink Line Drawing. I taped another clean sheet of trace paper over the redline block out and produced a final ink line drawing. I used freehand on the linework to give a "looser" feel to the image. On normal drawings and sketches, I usually add people, but for this particular work, all color, shades and shadows, and entourage will be done in Photoshop. (10 Minutes)

Step 3: Final Photoshop Image Montage and Color Rendering.  For the final step, I scanned and imported the linework into Photoshop. The walls, glass signage, floor, ceiling, and people were all on separate layers in order to control hierarchy and transparencies. Utilizing gradients and filters, I was able to create interesting effects for the dropped ceiling (in blue) and the floor. You'll notice that the final work is not overly-rendered which is the effect that I wanted. Therefore, I accomplished an effective and balanced view that was then exported into a final presentation in powerpoint and on a final presentation board. The artwork size is 11"x17" and set at 200dpi. (25 Minutes)
