While there are very useful sections in this book, informativity did not prevail throughout. has been interesting to see a ruler drawn with a ruler.
by Mr Guy R Bevitt
An excellent book for Film and TV Art Department people. Essential if you’re at the junior end of your career, but just as useful for reminders and reference for more seasoned pros. A bible of hand drafting styles, techniques, terms and generally useful information.

by Miss J K Sansom
I love this book and also wish I’d had it years ago! It’s a must for anyone starting out in the Art Dept, within the Film or TV Industry. Even if you’re not not new to drafting, it’s well worth getting for the inspiring and beautifully detailed drawings.
by BS
Anyone that will have to deal with technical drawings either by doing them or by having to read them, should get this book. It starts with the basics that most people are too shy to ask about and once you’ve been through it you’ll know it all. Awesome.

The book is great! But the blinding fell apart and all the pages fell out.

No wading through text to find what you need, just clear, beautifully drawn pages, oozing with detail. Love it.
