Description

The Insect Artist offers a complete course in illustration and lifelike artwork.

The 15 projects are designed to build on one another, beginning with techniques that strengthen drawing and acrylic painting skills. More advanced projects focus on design principals, realistic environments, and creative challenges. Clear instructions and visual demonstrations describe each step of the process and reference photos show the anatomy and coloration of each insect. Short outdoor exercises are included as lessons on actively observing the nature. This is a book for artists of all levels and anyone interested in rediscovering the natural world through artistic expression.

 Measure proportions accurately

Simplify tricky forms and patterns

 Establish an inspiring and supportive art practice

Critic Reviews

"This is a very well written and beautifully illustrated guide to gaining skill and familiarity with surface rendering, shading, concept, linework, and finishing, all as they relate to realistic natural and insect subjects. The tutorials are written accessibly and encouragingly and include a wonderful amount of clarity..."--Nonstop Reader
"Substantial (a whopping 344 pages) and thorough. There are plenty of different subjects, a lot of exercises and demonstrations, and some pleasant changes of pace as new topics and ways of working are introduced."
--Art Book Review
