Modern-Style House Rendering
This modern-style house is unique, and I am still determining the design. I didn’t design it; I just illustrated it for the designer. This version is my take on the house. As the designer scoped, the house has a two-toned roof, brick in-laid pavers between concrete driveway parts, and some green and teal. I will not share that one because the composition wasn’t to my taste, so I worked more on it, and here it is. Since the design is a little out there, I tried to tame it down with some monochrome colors and adjusted the composition to work better, with better lighting and camera angle.

Finding the Picture
Most, if not all, projects have a budget or some cost restrictions. Usually, my clients want to show as much as they can in one view without considering composition, light, shadow, or a focal point.
I structure my quotes so that multiple views can be chosen. Most illustrators have a flat fee, which means if you want the back of your house illustrated, it'll cost the same as the front—a second view of the front, the same price as the initial view. My fees are structured, so if you want the back of your house illustrated, since I already did the front, working out the details and colors, it'll take less work, which means less money so that you can allocate some money for some lovely vignettes. I have found that people still try to save money and not give that extra money to some beautiful vignettes or hero shots, which is too bad. The hero shots are what will sell your project.
Have you ever seen the cover of a set of construction documents? What do you see? You know, an isometric, with the camera high, showing the entire structure. This is OK; they are construction documents. However, they are not OK if you want something beautifully eye-pleasing.
Have you ever watched a professional architectural or landscape photographer work? They will sit for hours for that perfect light. When I go out taking photos, my hobby is to find a picture. That light can fall perfectly through the trees on just one flower, which is magical; I found the picture!
When creating an architectural rendering, I virtually walk the model with a virtual camera and lens, looking for the picture. I move the sun, raise the camera, lower the camera, and move the sun some more. It is always tricky when I am put in a box, being told the exact view, which people will only know what will work if someone spends the time walking the site. Foreground, middle ground, background, subtle depth of field, and some atmospherical atmosphere are all used to tell a story.
Most people, even people in architecture, need help understanding photography, composition, light and shadow, or even storytelling. There are rules and rules to be broken, but you can only break them if you know them. A professional can tell an amateur's work right away. You never put down an amateur because you can break their spirit. We were all amateurs at one point, but an amateur is easy to see.
It can take longer to find the picture than to build the model. However, making the model should be where the art starts, not when the project is completed.
Facebook memories are an excellent way to see things that were once worth posting. Here are some hero shots that I came across today, which initiated this post. I did these a few years ago for a client who understood the importance of finding the picture.

Material Study Rendering
What an excellent case study for an architectural rendering. The architect's client couldn't decide on stone or all brick, so he directed his client to me. It was a wise investment to commission an illustrator to illustrate both options so a decision could be made confidently.

Tiny House Renderings
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) are innovative and practical options for adding much-needed housing in California.
ADUs have been known by many names: granny flats, in-law units, backyard cottages, secondary units, and more. HCD is the state’s leader in local ADU ordinances, which — while optional — have grown exponentially as more cities, counties, and homeowners become interested in ADUs as one solution to increasing the supply of affordable housing.
Last night, I was scrolling through my work, and these tiny house renderings caught my eye. I wanted to reshare since ADUs appear on my social feeds. The images used in these social ads are from startups, with pretty poor-quality tiny house renderings. If you want to up your social game with some stellar tiny house renderings, please send me an email, I would love to help.

Florida House Renderings
Over the past few months, I have been called on to create 3D architectural renderings, both interior renderings and exterior renderings, for the good folks of Florida. Over the years, I have built up my library of tropical vegetation, and with this project, I could add another dozen tropical species to my 3D library.
What a beautiful home, with detail everywhere you look.

Interior Apartment Rendering
It takes a lot of work to pull off a successful interior rendering. Wear many hats, from an interior designer, a stager, a photographer, control materials, and perfect lighting.
Imagine watching a Hollywood movie being created, mostly done on a stage. You must have a strong light outside, streaming into the windows, but you need to block some of the harsh light with obstacles. Here, tree limbs and leaves were used. If you move the camera, you’ll see the stage, but you also want things behind the camera to reflect on your scene.
These two renderings are a simple rectangle, with a floor, ceiling, and some windows. Place items in your scene to create the mood and feeling that you are after. Is it a modern space, or a traditional space?
Building the scene is pretty straightforward, and there are many people who can do that. Slapping some colors and materials is also pretty easy. What takes skill is making everything work together in on harmonies image.
