This is my pencil drawing. I want to add futuristic environments to my pencil drawing.

Where can I find references on drawing futurisic buildings,futuristic vehicles and old chruches?

how old of churches?

futuristic buildings & vehicles, syd mead is your man...

[frypan]

For old churches maybe look at gothic architecture? Could look pretty cool next to Syd Mead style futureisim :)

Old Churches/Cathedrals = Gothic architecture I'm guessing?

If so there is a really great book.

Gothic
Architecture . Sculpture . Painting

Published by Konemann.

ISBN: 3-8290-1741-3

It is a big arsed hard cover book with many photos of the most amasing cathedrals around the world. It also has diagrams/plans to show how arches are constructed and joined at the ceiling. It cost me AUS$60. Well worth it, even just to look at.

:EDIT: Oh yeah. Nice darwing so far. Her top lip looks a little crooked though. Other than that she is gorgeous :D

Thanks Aven,Nomadik, Frypan, and Main Loop for your replies.

Syd mead's design are nifty and slick.

Aven,yes that book covers a comprehensive visual illustration of chursches. I found a page description on amazon. That book is thick and large. I'll surely start looking for that book after learning how to draw the human figure and the human head. As of this moment I'm reading the loomis books for free. And I just bought the Bridgman Complete life drawings and Nicolaides Natural Way to draw.

Do you have other book recommendations for futuristic designs/references (metropolis,mecha,vehicles-futuristic spaceships)?

Thanks,
Ellis

Hi Nomadik,

I'll try to rent Blade Runner when I find
the time to watch videos and I'll also rent
videos from Jean Pierre Jeunet.

Happy Holidays!
