Download or read book Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators Classic Reprint written by Allen W. Seaby and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators" by Allen W. Seaby is a seminal piece on art study and the various techniques involved in creating the perfect illustrations. Seaby provides a detailed insight of the theoretical underpinnings of art forms coupled with various sample illustrations for the reader to appreciate common mistakes and myths around drawing. Spread across multiple chapters, Seaby opens with an enlightening introduction that establishes the rules within which every art student should work. For him, sense of proportion and originality are of prime importance in developing art. " Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators" contains dedicated sections on forms, tone studies, edge studies, related figures and landscaping among other types. Seaby closes with works of some of the well-known artists and tips for illustrators. While every section of the book is presented in vivid detail it is the section on drawing the human figure that merits specific mention as the author dedicates multiple chapters on the topic including preliminary notes, search for the perfect form as well as time sketching. Unlike many other books on art, " Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators" is not a straightforward 'how to' book. Seaby takes great pain in providing explanations and context to each of the aspects he explores in this work. Comparisons between various techniques including line drawing, charcoal and sketches as well as regional differences between the West and the east, specifically Japan make this book an interesting read not just for students of art but the casual enthusiasts as well. Not only will " Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators" enhance the abilities of proficient artists, it can also be an excellent starting point for amateurs and newcomers.

Download or read book The Art of Sermon Illustration Classic Reprint written by H. Jeffs and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Sermon Illustration Every preacher covets the power to illustrate his sermons and addresses. Few preachers possess it in any marked degree. A fertile illustrator, like the poet and the painter, is born, not made. None the less, it is possible to cultivate the art; and the purpose of this book is to assist those who realise the necessity of being interesting, and are not destitute of imagination, to develop what gift they have. There are pitfalls in the way of the sermon and address illustrator, and the preacher and speaker will be put on their guard against them. The author has gone to the Bible as a store house of illustrations by inspired writers who possessed the art in perfection. Most of all he would send preachers to the Gospels, to Him who spake as never man spake, and without a parable spake He not unto them, for matchless examples of the illustra tion of spiritual truth. None realised as the Master. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Drawing for Beginners Classic Reprint written by Dorothy Furniss and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those that have wanted to draw for a long time but may consider themselves without artistic ability, Drawing for Beginners is an exciting inclusion to the Forgotten Books library. The book starts at the very beginning, with what tools to use, hand positioning, and the best types of paper for drawing, painting and sketching. Author Dorothy Furniss then talks (and sketches) you through the drawing of a leaf. If you follow the simple advice presented, it may in fact be the best leaf you have ever drawn. From the drawing of a leaf, the book takes your through the drawing of small objects, people and their specific body parts, animals, and larger inanimate objects such as buildings and airplanes. The latter chapters tackle some of the more challenging skillsets required by any artist: perspective, measurement, composition, lighting, and shading. With clearly and concisely presented material, there is no doubt that Drawing for Beginners will improve your artistic ability if approached studiously. Of course, there is no one book that will turn a beginner into an expert, and this book is no exception. However, it can be said with confidence that reading this book will give novice artists the mental tools required to become good artists, which is about as much as you can ask for from a book. Author Dorothy Furniss puts it best: "We must think with the brush and the pencil; we must think first and then draw round our 'think.' I hope that this book may help you to arrange your thoughts. It is but a helping hand on the broad highway that leads to the great world of art." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Art of Walter Crane Classic Reprint written by Paul George Konody and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-05 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Walter Crane In the present volume the author has endeavoured to avoid this dangerous pitfall, to keep an unbiassed mind, and to temper his genuine admiration for the master with an alloy of perhaps unnecessarily severe criticism. He feels the more justified in this method of proceeding, as most of the master's faults have their mainspring in, and are indeed the unavoid able outcome of, his most characteristic merits. It might, perhaps, be said that it is a little premature to publish a book of this nature, whilst its subject 15 in the prime of life and may reasonably be expected to enrich the world with many more works of unfailing charm and beauty. The answer to such an objection can only be, that Walter Crane's mission is accomplished; that his place in the history of art is definitely fixed and cannot be much affected by anything he may create in the future. His greatness lies not so much in his artistic achievements as in his influence - and this influence has become a historical fact.
