Topics covered include drawing and sketching instruction; the use of color and hand-drafting techniques; advice on model-making, textures, and perspective; a guide to costume designs and costume-rendering techniques; creative use of digital techniques; and practical methods for the effective presentation of a range of design-work. Each chapter concludes with a useful series of practical exercises.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crowood Press, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060244365552,"sku":"9781847972002","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781847972002_p0.jpg?v=1763750075","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781847972002","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
