Not a great book for those that are experienced in theatre. It gives an ok foundation for those starting out or interested in theatrical design, but is not for the advanced or experienced theatre artist. A majority of techniques in the book can be learned through remedial art classes; this book just focuses them on theatrical rendering. Anyone who has experience won't need it.
I ordered this book because a previous instructor recommended it, but I find it to be a little to advance for my class of students, many of which have never taken a college level art course and have little to no experience of perspective or a still life drawing. I haven't looked through the entire book, but I would definitely describe it as a book for students (and professors)with more advanced skills in rendering.
Drawing and Rendering for Theatre, was exactly what I needed! It goes in depth into every aspect of Design, Drawing and Rendering. Everything Shading to shadows, perspectives, digital painting, pastels, charcoal.....the LOT!I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get into or teaching this or any related field!
This is the most informative and comprehensive guide for theatrical rendering available. A must-have for students of theater and educators alike.
I needed this for my theatre class, and it's full of awesome information! It was a good value and I learned a lot from this book.
