Sketches to Photorealistic Renderings
Often, I am asked if I can create a photorealistic rendering from a sketch. The answer is, yes I can. All my projects get two grayscale proof and two-color proofs, so starting from sketches does have it’s obstacles. What I try to avoid is someone trying to circumvent the design process to save a buck, which usually ends up costing people more. For smaller interiors, like this project, starting from sketches were perfectly fine. After 2-sets of color revisions, I was able to capture what my client wanted.

NPR Renderings
The more computer power we get, the more we toss at it. The trend over the decade has been photorealistic rendering; however, that is very subjective. I have recently seen some “photorealistic” renderings that resembled what I was doing in the early ’90s. Having said that, not everything needs to be photorealistic. I have several clients that prefer the softer look of digital watercolor. I started out in watercolor, so these are not even close. I think we should coin a new term. Digital watercolor might work, and here are some of those I just completed this week.

Coleman Residence
I started, 25 years go, illustrating structures that don’t exist. I worked for a high-rise luxury residential design/build firm. To get bank financing, you needed to sell 80% of the units, and how do you sell a million-dollar studio, architectural renderings.
The Coleman Residence was a different story. The house is built, and there is a scheduled open house. The developer wanted a rendering and 2D color floor plan to have printed and set on an easel for people walking into the home.

Front Nine Lane Renderings
Great project for a great client. Architectural renderings are a great way to get people interested in your project. Either potential investors or future clientele, a rendering can tell the story.

Apartment Interior Renderings
How can you sell a view? Show them! These are interior renderings using site photos, used out the windows.
Generally, I overexpose the outside, just like real photography, however, the view was necessary on these, so they are correctly exposed, like the interior. Do you like it? Photorealistic purists might have issues :).

Garden Room Common Area Rendering
Often, I get interior designers who need to convey their design ideas to their clients. The Garden Room Common Area Rendering is one of these cases. All the pieces you see were modeled and colored according to the interior designer's specifications. These are some of the more time-consuming projects since I am matching real-world elements. I get photos, and I model the pieces to work in my 3D environment.

Bowling Alley Rendering
I love creating something from nothing. I mean, except for someone's concept. I start with a blank screen, and I virtually build the environment. In this case, I received sketches and inspirational photos to create these bowling alley renderings.

Up North Rendering
Summer is coming to an end, which means families are flooding in to get those last weekends at the resorts. I do work for people worldwide, but I don’t often do work for the locals. This is a local resort looking to attract some of those families to a proposed new cabin.

Wimbledon Corner
Again, I love brick! Improve the design, which is a benefit added. Often, when looking at the rendering, the design is redefined and dialed into. Like I always say, it is cheaper to move something on the computer than in the field.

Brick Architectural Renderings
I love brick. I am not sure if it is because I am from Chicago, and in Chicago, everything is brick (O'Leary), or what? Brick construction is fantastic and gives me a good feeling—brick construction; made to withstand, even a stubborn cow.
