Rendering by hand

[ColbyAtTroy]

I'm doing a hand drawn floor plan, and it's been pretty easy thus far.

But since I'm not a professional at it (yet), I don't know exactly how it works.

All I need to know is how do you designate set props, like tables and chairs and such, on the set?

Just draw them as they appear from the top view. Tables will be simple rectangles, and chairs are usually trapezoids. A furniture template can come in handy.

One note: since we're discussing ground plans, this thread should be titled "drafting by hand" or "drawing by hand." "Rendering" is a different process.
