Dear Dan
It may be worth your taking a look at typical 'how to draw' books, particularly those commonly used and published in vast quantities in east Asia. Another point of interest may be experimenting with Sketch Up.
What about the world of architects plans, which you could think of as a reverse use of volume where space becomes a two dimensional description. Perhaps a visit to the RIBA library would be useful.

Subject: Volume in drawing
Hello.
I am currently carrying out preparatory research for a body of work (primarily paintings) that are to explore the idea of mass and volume through illusionary space. I have returned to Henry Moore's Sheep Sketchbook a number of times and feel that through his drawings, one can see that his use of drawing is entirely referential for his practice and I always think that you can tell a sculptor made those drawings.
I was hoping to exploit the knowledge bank of the DRN en masse to see if anyone is aware of any publications (similar to Moore's Sheep) that focus on particular 3D artists and how they employ drawing either as a precursor to their sculpting or as a parallel activity? If there were any publications that have been released post 1960, then I would be extremely eager to hear of them.
Huge thanks in anticipation,
Dan Roach
