Jewellery Illustration and Design, Vol.2

After the introduction into geometry, perspective and the representation of materials in vol 1, this second volume constitutes a thorough and complete study on the fundamental aspects of graphically depicting a wide variety of jewellery. Having learnt about geometry, perspective and representation of materials in the first volume, this second book in this two-part series delves deeper into the process of designing jewellery, from the first sketch to the final representation, with special emphasis on how to work on ideas, plan a collection, and design and illustrate a wide range of pieces, such as necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets. The present volume tackles the process from the initial idea, based in natural or geometrical forms, to the final drawing of the completed piece, including illustration techniques and sources of inspiration, all aspects that will stir up the reader’s creativity. It is the ultimate tool and resource for jewellery students and professionals, and even illustrators in search of professional guidelines in freehand drawing and painting techniques when representing jewellery
