Juan Rodríguez: Illustration With Few Materials, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

How much do you think it takes to practice your graphic art? Most people think that art materials are expensive because they are what those who make artwork need. But the technique is the same in principle. Imagine a jeweler, who makes gold jewelry. Do you think he learned his craft using gold along the way? Of course not! Surely he started learning the processes and then ventured with copper and aluminum, then bronze and silver, and after being sure of not wasting material, he used gold. This book provides the theoretical and practical bases to improve in his graphic art with no bigger budget than a lunch for two people in a fast food place. It is based on an academic thesis work, simplified to serve as a practical guide to make sure you can make royalty-free graffiti and designs to place as a thumbnail or logo. As you read this, think about where you have a sheet of paper to tear in two, a graphite pencil and an eraser.
