Practical Jewelry Rendering by Tim McCreight ganoksin/gnkurl/ep8196 The essence of rendering is magic - the grand illusion that something as elusive as an idea seems to exist as a tangible object. The advantages of rendering are obvious: it is faster and more economical to refine an idea on paper than in precious metal. Renderings are often used to convey information accurately to a client or to communicate with a model maker or gem cutter. And just as important, it’s fun. This engaging visual tutorial will get you started! This practical tool-in-a-book combines instruction on rendering techniques with unique guides that assist designers as they conceive jewelry and other works for the body. An envelop on the inside back cover contains a useful plastic template of circles, squares and other shapes as well as a ruler. This unusual book is offers not only instruction, but dozens of illustrations of the human figure that can be used as armatures upon which to design jewelry. By placing a sketch paper over one of these figures, a designer is able to see how a shape relates to the ear, shoulder or neck. The effect is dramatic, and leads to instant improvement in designing wearable jewelry The complete book is now available online and can be also downloaded as a PDF file from The Ganoksin Project website.
