The first volume in this two-part series provides a step-by-step guide
to the fundamental aspects of the graphic representation of a wide range
of jewellery pieces, from the simplest to the most complex forms.
Different volumes, spaces, surfaces and finishes are explained in
detail, as are methods for depicting different materials, from timeless
metals and precious stones to substances such as celluloid and bakelite.
The objective of this book is not to showcase completed jewellery
pieces. Instead, it aims to provide readers with the tools needed to be
able to accurately convey their ideas and master use of colour, as well
as to draw different facets and effects such as brilliance, transparency
and opacity. It does so by explaining a variety of illustration
techniques involving pencils, markers, pastels, tempera and computer
rendering.
