Reddit mentions of Graphic Anatomy - Atelier Bow Wow

Perhaps not what you're looking for but I would recommend looking at Atelier Bow Wow's Graphic Anatomy if you want to see some beautifully drawn houses from a Japanese architect. Absolutely stunning graphics in my opinion.

As others have said, it's tough to tell exactly. I've done drawings similar to this by modeling in Rhino and using the Make2d to get the linework, then adding detail and entourage in Illustrator.

If you're into this style of drawing you'd like Manual of Section and Atelier Bow Wow's work.

Limiting to a couple for simplicity's sake:

The new: Graphic Anatomy of Atelier Bow Wow (examples here)

The classic: FLW's Wasmuth Portfolio

for someone learning computer drawing and representation techniques I can't recommend Atelier Bow Wow's Graphic Anatomy more too. Also any metropolitan architectural student should at least give Delirious NY a quick read.

Any specific topic you are looking for?

https://www.amazon.com/Jutaku-Japanese-Houses-Naomi-Pollock/dp/0714869627 is almost completely photos.

https://www.amazon.com/Barefoot-Architect-Johan-van-Lengen/dp/0936070420 is full of lots of diagrams and small writings.

Any DK Ching book has a lot of illustrations.

https://www.amazon.com/Graphic-Anatomy-Atelier-Bow-Wow/dp/4887062788 is mostly art.

These are my two favorite architecture inspiration books by a longshot:

• Graphic Anatomy Atelier Bow-Wow
  
• Fujimori Terunobu
  
  Atelier Bow-Wow has the most gorgeous take on technical drawings I've seen. And Fujimori's work is straight out of a fairy tale, but the attention to detail and material is super inspirational.

Ok, I would recommend Words and Buildings by Adrian Forty, Notre Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo (this chapter specifically) , and one of the drawing books from Atelier Bow Wow . As for your thoughts on starting with less difficult books, I wouldn't worry about that, just read about what you are interested in, if a certain period interests you start there, a certain material, city, construction type, etc. This doesn't have to be only limited to architectural interests either, if you are into shoe design or something actually research the topic further, study it, understand why a certain thing was successful, when did high heels come to be a thing? Was it a hit from the start? What materials are they made of? What technology was necessary to make high heels? Find the time to get exposed and be curious about as many things as possible. This will give you a well rounded knowledge base with specific deeper pockets that are of interest to you, as well as that skill to be able to dissect and extract as much information out of a subject. Pm me if you have any other questions.
