## Overview

How to Render TP by Scott Robertson is a highly-rated instructional book that teaches the fundamentals of light, shadow, and reflectivity in rendering. Designed as a follow-up to basic sketching skills, it offers step-by-step guidance and exclusive online videos, empowering aspiring designers to achieve professional-quality finishes in their artwork.

## Description

Scott Robertson explains how the human brain interprets the visual world around us, as well as the subject of visually communicating the form of an object in easy to understand, step-by-step lessons through the use of drawings, photography, and even 3D digital imagery that will enlighten and empower an artist.

Review: Great value for money - Scott Robertson is an isnpiration to any aspiring designer. After being lucky in stumbling over a presentation on youtube that he did, it makes it very hard for me to find someone else who I can say is at a similar level in teaching the art of sketching, drawing, visualising. There are lots of books, videos online. but this book takes you to the basics of rendering. For this book you do need to know the basics fo sketching so if you do not have these basic skills, then you might want to consider buying his first book "how to sketch". This book has also got videos online to compliment the informtaion in it. So basically you are not left to you own devices as per so many other how to render/sketch books. Other books almost make you feel like it is impossible to achieve the level of professionalism in the art of rendering. However, this book takes you step by step, giving you so much more confidence. It is very very usefull material to have.
Review: A fantastic book on lighting and rendering - A great follow up to How To Draw, what that book is for drawing 3d dimensional forms in perspective, this book is for taking those drawings through to a rendered finish. The book covers a bunch of topics that have given a clearer idea of what to be taking mental/physical notes of when observing different materials and forms under various lighting conditions. This will be one of those art books that after the first readthrough i will be returning to for the fundamentals brush-up i do now and again.

If you liked "how to draw", you'll like this. If you have liked any other book from DesignStudioPress you'll probably like this. If you haven't bought any of their books before, this is a great technical resource for beginners and the experienced. It covers all the fundamentals (regarding rendering) you'll likely need to improve your skills, or brush up on what you already know. (if you have bought learning materials from DSP or TheGnomonWorkshop before, you'll probably recognise a few things in this book). Well presented in both the quality of the print and also the layout of the content, well worth the money.
