CAD Plot Is The Start of An Architectural Rendering
I thought I would share a little bit of the process….The first step toward an architectural illustration is the construction of a computer, or CAD, model as it is called….I build these models using the architect’s plans and elevations, and computer software made for modelling, such as FormZ or Sketchup….A plot of one of these computer models is shown below….It shows the basic massing of a four-story building designed by my client–the architect….The model exists solely in the computer, is to scale, with all the correct dimensions and proportions….Once I have a model to this point, I usually print it out and begin adding detail by hand, drawing in windows, railings, joint lines, etc….Jeffrey Michael George has been providing his architectural clients with fine-quality renderings for 30 years….Most of his clients are located in the San Francisco Bay Area, including the South Bay and Silicon Valley, Sacramento, and the Sierra Foothills…..
Rough Black & White Sketch of San Jose Residential Building
This is how most of my projects start–with a quick conceptual sketch I draw to communicate to the architect what the final product will look like regarding content and composition….

This 3D visualization in perspective was commissioned by the South Bay architectural firm of Steinberg Architects of San Jose, a longstanding client of Jeffrey’s illustration business. The drawing shows Steinberg’s proposed design for a residential project to be located in San Jose, California, in the South Bay, about 50 miles south of San Francisco.

Black & White Sketch of Freeform Architectural Tower
Sheesh! It’s a builder’s nightmare! Sometimes it’s nice just to draw something and leave the hard work to someone else….The image below is a black & white sketch of an imaginary Skyscraper designed and drawn by Jeffrey Michael George, Architectural Illustrator. This illustration is one I have done for my own amusement and to explore my creative side.

Rendering of Senior Residential Building for Sierra Foothills
Nothing Like A Morning Walk To Bring Out the Appetite!~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 Michael Murphy Architects of Auburn, CA. The project is an age-in-place retirement community called Rincon del Rio, currently planned for a site near Auburn, CA. The engineer is SCO Engineering of Grass Valley, and the developer/owner is Young Enterprises of Auburn, CA. 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.
