• Accessible text and timeless illustrations giving explanations of visual principles and step-by-step demonstrations of how to create accurate and convincing artwork.

Designing a captivating creature simply for it to exist against a white background and going no further is a purely academic exercise. Designing a creature that can survive in a world, interact with its own and other species, and go on to make an impact, is designing with intent. This is the end goal of creature design and what you will witness in this latest book from industry expert Terryl Whitlatch.

With decades of experience in the entertainment industry, developing creatures for Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace and Beowulf, among other films, Whitlatch offers an abundance of valuable advice throughout the Principles of Creature Design. For Whitlatch, there’s no limit to what can be imagined with an open mind, though the journey may not always be an easy one. It’s what she calls “chasing the unicorn.” We will surely enjoy joining her on her journey, filled with creatures so vivid, whimsical, and elaborate that we will wish — or wonder if — they are real.

Людське тіло є складною темою для зображення через його складність і рухливість. «Щоб зробити це добре, потрібні глибокі знання анатомії та усвідомлення того, що лежить під усіма частинами тіла, адже найбільше фігуративне мистецтво справляє враження, що всередині тіла є живий скелет», — зазначає художник і ветеран мистецтвознавства Рей Бастос. Завдяки Rey’s Anatomy: Figurative Art Lessons from the Classroom Бустос надає важливу анатомічну інформацію, докладні дослідження та цінні посібники з малювання, щоб озброїти художників базовим уявленням про структуру скелета та м’язову систему людського тіла.

Викладаючи малювання фігур протягом 30 років, він надзвичайно доступно представляє складні концепції, посилаючись на роботи старих майстрів, щоб продемонструвати, як митець може взяти ті самі анатомічні знання та виразити їх різноманітними та особистими способами та, навчаючись і практикуючись, зобразити людську форму, не перешкоджаючи процесу чи інтелекту. Rey’s Anatomy спочатку досліджує анатомію, а потім щоденні вправи з малювання, які допомагають удосконалити фігуративну роботу, водночас показуючи надзвичайну роботу його учнів у всій книзі — поряд із його власною — що свідчить про те, як його уроки принесли користь поколінням художників.

Flowers by Rosie Sanders is a large-format book that showcases over 80 of her finest flower paintings in exquisite detail.
