 Grants book is a Landscape Graphics standard February 10, 2010
G. Banks (Rocky Mountains)
I was required to utilize this book in my college study at Colorado State University. I was also fortunate to have Grant as my Professor leading me through his publication. As a professional Landscape Designer, and now LA, I can honestly say that I have attained all of my positions in Landscape Architectural firms based on these fundamental design standards and my graphic abilities. Personally, the book had it's uses as a teaching tool as well as it's inspirational uses now 15+ years later. Some people have stated that it is too basic and "dated". I may be old school when it comes to hand graphics and illustration, but I see the plan, section elevations, and perspective views represented in this book as nothing short of fundamental. Grant ingrained in his students to "be loose" (yes, Grant too was a student of Mike Lin and pulls material from him in this book as well) and that the quick thumbnail sketches that can be done on the spot are an essential means of communication. For early conceptualization, charettes and Design Development I have found these graphic standards essential. From there, I can incorporate this quick visualization into finished and approved architectural illustrations or whatever means of CAD, SketchUP, and/or Adobe CS program rounds it out to my firm and clients requirements.
At the end of the day, this has always been an important and treasured addition to my collection right next to other books by Lin, Leggit, Doyle, and Wang.
Terrific book for learning graphics and as a reference December 24, 2009
Laura Michelle (Florida, USA)
I purchased this book as required per my Landscape Architecture graphics class at Ohio State University and 5 years out of college and I see refer to this book when I need help with my graphics or to use a new technique. Landscape Graphics gives you a step by step process on how to create trees, perspectives, ect; in addition to pages of graphic samples of people, ground covers, trees, shrubs, plan views, sections, lettering, and vehicles.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who sketches, or creates graphics in the architectural/landscape architectural field.

moss dog (Arkansas)
Step-by-step instructions on how to draw landscape graphics. Includes basic tools, lead thickness, lettering, plan view, perspective, section, plants, people, light and shadow. Arranged in chapters with stepped-up exercises for each one. Example graphics for hundreds of different trees, shrubs, grasses and plants. Well worth the price.
