This or That CAD or hand drawing?

CELTRUDA: I believe both are equally important yet I feel hand drawing is fast becoming a lost art! EGNATZ: There is a time for both, and understanding the right time to use one verses the other is important.

SHIBLEY: Hand drawing for initial sketches – CAD for finished work VIOLETTE: The spirit of a design rests in the "looseness" of a hand sketch. It is a bit magical that a hand sketch (doesn't have to be good but effective) can say so much. The process of hand sketching in design development is critical. You will likely find a roll of trace (or onion skin) at arms' reach for a Landscape Architect.

HEEB: BOTH

HOLTZMAN: Hand drawings completed in CAD

KELLEHER: CAD

Marker or crayon?

CELTRUDA: Age 0 to 15 years old crayon, marker ever since…. Yet I do not stay within the lines!

EGNATZ: Marker. Crayons don’t reproduce well.

HEEB: Marker

HOLTZMAN: Watercolor

KELLEHER: Marker

SHIBLEY: Marker (and occasionally colored pencil) VIOLETTE: These days, I have moved to CRAYON. My 2 1/2 year old daughter and I do plenty of "fridge worthy" coloring book pictures at home. I enjoy telling her that I get to color at work too. She thinks that is pretty cool.

Markers win!
