Download or read book A Handbook of Biological Illustration written by Frances W. Zweifel and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to help biologists who must create their own illustrations and artists who are confronted with unfamiliar biological subjects. The author, an experienced biological illustrator, gives practical instructions and advice on the consideration of size and of printing processes, choice of materials, methods for saving time and labor, drawing techniques, lettering methods, and mounting and packing the finished illustrations. She explains how to produce clear and attractive charts, graphs, and maps, so essential to science publications. Though this primer does not cover photographic techniques, it does include advice on retouching, cropping, and mounting photographs and on using photographs of biological subjects as aids in drawing. This second edition is updated to reflect the many technological changes in art materials and printing processes that have occurred since the book's first publication, and it includes an entirely new chapter on planning, designing, and mounting the poster presentations that have become an essential part of conferences held by scientific societies. Also included are the requirements and conventions peculiar to biological illustration and a bibliography of useful reference works. "Every biology student who intends to write a thesis deserves to own this book, as does the biologist who intends to publish or work up some visual aids for his own use. There is no reason to limit the concepts of this handbook to the field of biology; it should be useful to other specific areas of science."—Evan Lindquist, American Biology Teacher (from a review of the first edition)
Download or read book Handbook of Drawing Classic Reprint written by William Walker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "All true education consists in the cultivation of the judgment," writes William Walker in the Preface to Handbook of Drawing. With this simple statement of intent, Walker imparts lessons on drawing and lessons about the nature of art. Walker describes techniques and art together, so the reader learns not to copy, but instead to see art for him or herself, and approach that readers will surely be delighted with. The Handbook of Drawing has two aims. First, the book sets out to teach the elementary principles of drawing. Second, it seeks to impart judgement on matters involving art, so that students can develop a good eye. To teach students how to draw, Walker begins with the basics: how to see, how to hold the pencil, how sketch, how to outline and how to use shade and light. The lessons are easy to understand and are accompanied by illustrations. The second half of the book touches on the essence of what it means to be an artist. There are many beautiful passages examining how to draw an object in a more natural, artistic way. For example, after describing how to draw a leaf, Walker discusses how to make it the leaf more life-like and more beautiful. "But if a leaf is so placed as to show its varied and delicate curves in front one of another then we are no longer drawing from the flat... but from an object in space, with all the exquisite changes of curve and surface, and there is now more properly a field for Art expression." The illustrations - one of a flat leaf and one of a foreshortened, flowing leaf - expertly demonstrate Walker's advice. Handbook of Drawing discusses perspective and how technical ability differs from artistic ability. Walker repeatedly warns students against mere copying, encouraging them, instead, to find their own style. Anyone interested in drawing must have this expertly written text.

Download or read book Early Illustrated Books written by Alfred W. Pollard and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Illustrated Books: A History of the Decoration and Illustration of Books in the 15th and 16th Centuries This little book was written nearly a quarter of a century ago in the enthusiasm of a first acquaintance with a fascinating subject, and with an honest endeavour to see for myself as many as possible of the books I set out to describe. If I had tried to rewrite it now I might have made it more interesting to experts, but at the cost of destroying whatever merit it possesses as an introductory sketch. I have therefore been content to correct, as thoroughly as I could, its many small errors (not all of my own making), more especially those due to the ascription of books to impossible dates and printers, which before the publication of Robert Proctor's Index to the Early Printed Books in the British Museum, in 1898, was very difficult to avoid. In these emendations, and in getting the titles of foreign books into better form, I have had much kind help from Mr. Victor Scholderer of the British Museum. I am grateful also to Mr. E. Gordon Duff for his leave to use again the chapter on English Illustrated Books which he kindly wrote for me for the first edition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Anatomy for Art Students In place of adopting, as is usual, the method of furnish ing a complete description of the bones, succeeded by an equally detailed account of the joints and muscles, I have incorporated them in the description of regions. As each region - a limb for instance - is considered, its bones, joints, and muscles are described in so far as they have special reference to the moulding of 'the surface forms. In this way it is hoped that the student may attain a better grasp of the subject than by the study of isolated descriptions of the various structures involved.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Of the Extra Illustration of Books If the book to be illustrated is well chosen, and taste and discrimination are exercised in its embellishment, the outcome will be as satisfactory in this as in many otherlines of book collecting. Only the ultra refined bibliophile will deny that a Pepys' Diary, interleaved with the quaintly beauti ful graven efiigies of the seventeenth century in their emblematic and fioriated borders, or the Memoirs of saint-simon, between the pages of which repose the delic ately engraved plates of Ficquet, Savart, or the inimitable Grateloup, are desirable additions to a collection of fine books. When it comes to crowding a Bible or a Shakespeare with engravings by the thousand in sets of dreary uniformity as long as your arm, we confess that extra illustration is a delusion and a snare, and a weariness to the flesh. Variety is the very essence of a book of this kind. If it lacks this spice it is bereft of a charm that is peculiarly its own.
