The image below is an architectural rendering done recently by Jeffrey Michael George, architectural illustrator.  These illustrations are done before construction begins on a project, using the architect’s design drawings as a starting point.  Jeffrey first builds a 3D CAD model, and shows the client view options, from which the perspective view is selected for the rendering.  With that chosen view angle, Jeffrey then develops the architectural rendering by hand as traditional artwork.  When complete in color, a digital scan is made of the image, and sent to the architect for their use in promoting the project. This image shows the design work of Pacific Peninsula Architecture of Menlo Park, CA.  The project is a custom residential design planned for Atherton, CA. Architectural Rendering of Peninsula Architect's Design of Custom Residence Located Near San Francisco Jeffrey provides many illustrations for architects in San Francisco, San Jose and South Bay, Bay Area Peninsula, East Bay, Sacramento, and Sierra Foothills of Northern California, bringing their designs to life in the form of architectural renderings.
