Render

Following in the wake of their joint success Drawing. How to Create Objects and Environments with Imagination, Scott Robertson and Thomas Bertling share the knowledge, techniques and skills that any artist needs to develop to take their drawings one step further and convey their ideas with greater clarity and precision. Representation is the next skill to work on after learning to draw, and here readers of all artistic levels will find useful tools and tips for representing different shapes, surfaces, materials, and concepts. At a time when it is so easy to recreate textures and volumes with 3D rendering programs, the authors are committed to taking advantage of digital tools, but without forgetting the fundamentals of light, shadows and reflectivity. That is why, through simple, superbly illustrated step-by-step lessons, they help the reader to improve their visual understanding of the world and to put into practice techniques that will allow them to represent it with a more realistic result. The book, divided into two blocks, presents numerous exercises and offers complementary material to download or view online.
