[IxDA Discuss] Learning how to sketch?

[Eugene Chen]

Rapid Visualization, Kurt Hanks

This book has great inspiring writing and goes through the basics of
perspectival drawing and communication through drawing. Most, though not all
of the example come from architectural spaces and/or people doing things.
It's fun to take on an airplane along with some blank pages.

However, I agree with the first amazon reviewer that it is not purely a book
on ideation or thinkers who want to doodle.

Best,

Eugene
