Drawing the Line

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book is a must for anyone learning technical drawing, as well as those establishing themselves in art departments around the world."

- Kerry Bradley, Course Leader BA (Hons) Design for Film & Television (Nottingham Trent University)

"Drawing the Line is an excellent resource for students and professionals of film and television alike. In an age of technology, it is inspiring to see a text that focuses on drafting as a means of communication, and approaches drafting in a guided, thoughtful way."

-Scott C. Chapman, Associate Professor of Theatre, Resident Scenic & Lighting Designer & Technical Director (Longwood University, Farmville, Virginia)

Praise for the 1st Edition

"When David worked with us on Game of Thrones, I was impressed by his enthusiasm and extensive knowledge of architecture. He is a fine draughtsman and teacher, and I believe this book will prove invaluable to those wishing to improve their skills at the drawing board."

- Paul Ghirardani, Five-Time Emmy Award Winner, Supervising Art Director, Game of Thrones

"This excellent book both celebrates and helps to perpetuate the unique skills of hand-drawn orthographic construction draughting for film and television set building. David McHenry's drawings have a beautiful pictorial quality which, through his sensitive use of line, communicate technical and artistic information. The book is a useful introduction to both students and professionals in the Art Department. A winner!"

- Professor Moira Tait, Production Designer and Tutor; Member of BAFTA, Fellow of The Royal Society of Arts

"My only flaw with Drawing the Line is that I didn't have it when I was in high school or college. It is a must have for up and coming designers. This book merely consolidates how seamlessly his drawings simply and elegantly enhance the designer's vision."

- Jon Gary Steele, Production Designer, Sandman (2022), Outlander (2014-20), and Luther (2023)
