:
|
In this how-to guide you'll find the essential art principles and techniques for drawing and painting fantastic buildings and environments, alternate realities, and ancient citadels--and you'll learn the skills that make it all look convincing. Step by step, learn how to use real-world architectural references to create extraordinarily fantastic buildings. A texturing gallery filled with reference material will show you how to capture the differences in surface textures using a range of media, both traditional and digital. You'll also learn to add details such as weathering, carvings, and smoke and fire damage. Once you've developed a comprehensive approach to architectural details and have mastered the necessary rendering techniques, you'll have everything you need to paint or render your fantasy creations effectively" --Cover, p. 4.
