Some of my Architectural Rendering samples

One Saturday afternoon, I had the chance to open  a folder containing some of architectural renderings I’ve done in the past years. My old rendering include techniques using media as airbrush, Pantone pens, color pencils and crayons and water color. Recent rendering jobs were done in computer modeling and rendering using SketchUp, Kerkythea, Adobe Photoshop, Podium and several other software.
