Synopsis • How to Draw is for artists, architects and designers. It is useful to the novice, the student and the professional. You will learn how to draw any object or environment from your imagination, starting with the most basic perspective drawing skills. Early chapters explain how to draw accurate perspective grids and ellipses that in later chapters provide the foundation for more complex forms.

May 12, 2018  Scott Robertson and Thomas Bertling are the authors of this book. Scott Robertson has almost two decades of experience teaching how to design, draw, and render. He has authored or co-authored 11 books on design and concept art.

The research and design processes used to generate visual concepts are demonstrated, making it much easier for you to draw things never-before-seen Best of all, more than 25 pages can be scanned via a smartphone or tablet using the new Design Studio Press app, which link to video tutorials for that section of the book With a combined 26 years of teaching experience, Scott Robertson and Thomas Bertling bring you the lessons and techniques they have used to help thousands of their students become professional artists and designers. This book is indispensable for anyone who wants to learn, or teaches others, how to draw. This is a really fantastic and easy to follow tome Quite a tome on the principles of drawing, but not just that. This book, or rather it's author, Mr. Robertson, is extremely thorough in laying the foundations of fundamental drawing technique and the principles of perspective and it's use in constructing convincing objects and environments. If you are interested in drawing things that look accurate to your vision than I would recommend this book highly. The principles in this book can be used to construct on paper anything you can think of.

Robertson's style of writing is easy to follow, his drawings and use of style through out also are quite pretty and inspiring. If this book isn't required reading at art school yet, I'm pretty sure it will be. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New •.

With a combined 26 years of teaching experience, Scott Robertson and Thomas Bertling bring you the lessons and techniques they have used to help thousands of their students become professional artists and designers. This book is indispensable for anyone who wants to learn, or teaches others, how to draw. This book is about the fundamentals of light, shadow and reflectivity; the focus is firmly on helping to improve visual understanding of the world around and on techniques for representing that world. Rendering is the next step 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 how to construct proper shadows in perspective and how to apply the correct values to those surfaces. The second section focuses on the physics of reflectivity and how to render a wide range of materials utilizing this knowledge. Throughout the book, two icons appear that indicate either “observation” 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. Similar to our previous book,, this book contains links to free online rendering tutorials that can be accessed via the URL list or through the H2Re app.
