Learn how to create realistic 3D art with this collection of
step-by-step techniques and tutorials for creating hyperrealistic
art using coloured pencils. The trend for hyper realistic artworks
featuring high shine subjects is inspiring a new generation of
artists. Take your art to the next level with this collection of
step-by-step techniques and tutorials for creating hyper realistic
artwork. Artist and author, Amie Howard, is an expert in how to get
the most from coloured pencils and she takes you through all the
key techniques for rendering realistic representations of
everything from pets to water. The first part of the book explores
basic drawing techniques including blending, shading, glazing and
scumbling - a technique used to create a slick surface texture.
There are simple practise exercises for each of the techniques
sections so that you can experiment and get comfortable with the
different methods before trying them out on a final artwork. This
section includes advice about how to get the perfect blend of
colours and textures as well as tips about adding in the fine
details that make all the difference. The step-by-step tutorials
feature a wide range of subjects including animals, portraits, food
and drink so you will learn how to recreate a large number of
different surfaces and textures. The chapters are broken up into
sections: Surfaces; Animals; Birds, People and Other Textures which
looks at a range of different natural and synthetic textures
including tree bark, grass, a soft drink can and a shiny sweet
wrapper. All of the tutorials have multiple step-by-step images so
you can see how the forms and textures are built up over a series
of stages. Amie shares her tips and tricks for creating incredibly
realistic representations of textures including feathers and fur
and there are up close studies for a cat's eye, a dog's nose and a
single feather so you can the details involved in these projects.
Other up close studies include lips and a nose and a bird's beak
and eye. The instructions will allow you tackle challenging
subjects such as reflective surfaces and ice in glass by breaking
down the drawing process into clear step-by-step instructions and
photographs, allowing you to follow the artist at each step.
Whether you dream of restoring an heirloom to its former beauty, or
just want to modernize a flea market treasure, Amy Howard has the
design and refinishing secrets you need. Here are all the furniture
finishing recipes, techniques, and tips that have made Howard's
beloved classes sold-out success stories, and made Howard herself
the go-to guru of refinishing and "use what you have" redecorating.
Try your hand at unique painted and faux finishes, and experiment
with gold leaf, distressing, and marvelous graining effects. Along
the way, you will learn a treasure trove of techniques, as Howard
shares before-and-after makeovers from her studio and offers
impeccable step-by-step instruction in all that is needed to
achieve each look.
