Description

This book is about the fundamentals of light, shadow and reflectivity; the point of interest is firmly on helping to strengthen visual understanding of the world around and on techniques for representing that world. Rendering is the next move after drawing to communicate ideas more clearly. Building on what Scott Robertson and Thomas Bertling wrote about in How To Draw: Drawing and Sketching Objects and Environments from Your Imagination, this book shares everything the two experts know about how to render light, shadow and reflective surfaces. This book is divided into two major sections: the first explains the physics of light and shadow. One will learn to construct proper shadows in perspective and how to apply the correct values to those surfaces. The second section specializes in the physics of reflectivity and how to render quite a lot of materials utilizing this knowledge. All the way through the book, two icons appear that indicate either “commentary” or “action.” This means the page or section is about observing reality or taking action by applying the knowledge and following the steps in creating your own work. Very similar to our previous book, How To Draw, this book contains links to free online rendering tutorials that may be accessed via the URL list or through the H2Re app.
