Customer Reviews

My favorite book about art technique.

I checked this book at the HCC library and loved it so much that I bought it. My particular book was used but looks great.

A valuable resource to both students and teachers.

As a professor at the only small college in the U.S. to offer a degree in scientific illustration, it is extremely valuable for my students to have access to a text that exposes them to the various techniques and applications associated with scientific illustration. Phyllis Wood's Scientific Illustration provides students with both a basic overview of the field, including introductory rendering techniques, and an in-depth discussion of the many applications of the work, such as presentation graphics and exhibit design.The well-organized contents begin with traditional approaches and media, and end with an excellent chapter on computer applications. The numerous illustrations do not merely supplement the text, but act as lessons in themselves. Many of the best illustrators in the field are represented in the illustration credits.My students and I are very grateful this resource is available to supplement the material presented in the classroom.
