About

Architectural illustrators are hired to put complex concepts or objects into graphical form. The artist uses artwork to turn small details into visual renderings. This field is based on the plan, design, and construction of numerous structures. Illustrations created are typically two-dimensional and may include images or animations. Technical draftsmanship and precise use of visual perspective are often prominent features in architectural illustration, although within these restrictions some artists such as William Walcot were known for a more fluid impressionistic style.

Architectural illustrations and models are often used during client presentations, fundraising events, sales pitches, and meetings regarding permits.[1]

Software

Computer based software such as SketchUp and other products produced by a variety of publishers can be used by architectural illustrators in creating architectural renderings.[1]
