He starts with practical considerations--setting up a workspace and mastering drawing media, painting media, and digital techniques. Next comes advice on visualizing the details in a story concept, with special attention to. .Costumes, landscapes, and interiorsSubjects taken from history and well-known legendsMethods of depicting nature that enhance a fantasy atmosphereCreating visually convincing human, animal, and extraterrestrial charactersHow-to chapters instruct in the details of drawing convincing scenes and characters, using color to create atmosphere, and depicting special effects such as fog and dramatic lighting.

More than 350 color illustrations. Its a simple book ... mostly it discusses options and some sketches ... ideas ... Its a basic how to draw without the how to draw walk through.

  • Lost Incunable Editions: Closing in on an Estimate
    chapter 3 Lost Incunable Editions: Closing in on an Estimate Jonathan Green and Frank McIntyre Imagine, if you will, that you are a lepidopterist stationed in the butterfly-rich environment of a tropical Malaysian island. You hope to determine the number of butterfly species that live on the island, and so you resolve to survey an acre- sized patch of it for a month and record the number of individuals of each spe- cies that you find. At the end of the month, you find that a few species of butterfly are represented by a large number of specimens, while many species are repre- sented by only one or a few specimens. These results lead you to suspect that there remain many species of butterfly on the island that your survey has missed, but how many? And how many more species can you expect to discover with additional months of observation? As your opportunity to spend additional months on a tropical island depends on your presenting a convincing argument to your funding agency, these questions are of some urgency for you. This is a brief statement of what is known as the unseen species problem, which has been an area of intense study both within and well outside of the field of ecology for several decades. The example above concerning Malaysian butterflies is drawn from a pathbreaking article published in 1943 by Ronald Fisher, one of the founders of modern biology and statistics, who proposed statistical methods for estimating the number of unseen butterfly species.1 Since then, the development and implementation of these methods has con- tinued, so that several current statistical software packages can provide both an estimate of the number of missing species and determine the confidence interval of that estimation, that is, the range within which one is reasonably certain the actual number lies.2 In an ideal situation, the number of observed butterfly species will rise with each additional month of observation, but the estimate of total species will change only modestly as the confidence interval 1 R.A.

  • (1604) In/As Print
    Early Theatre 20.1 (2017), 43–76 http://dx.doi.org/10.12745/et.20.1.2830 Heather C. Easterling Reading the Royal Entry (1604) in/as Print King James I’s March 1604 entry into London, many recognize, departs from previ- ous royal entry pageants through its use of triumphal arches, employment of profes- sional dramatists, and emphasis on dialogue. But the 1604 entry also was notable for its essential print identity. Print records of royal entries were common by the time of Elizabeth’s accession, and the 1559 text commemorated the event mainly for the queen and court, listing no author. By contrast, James’s entry, staged and performed over one day, generated four different printed texts, each with a declared author or authors. This article considers how all four entry texts together produce a highly contested portrait of ideas about print, authorship, and authority at the outset of the Jacobean period. Oxford’s monumental Thomas Middleton: The Complete Works, dense not only with plays but also with lord mayor’s shows and essays on the spectacles they scripted, offers vivid evidence of new interest in early modern pageantry. Schol- arly reassessments of long neglected public pageantry have newly considered the significance, in their own time and in ours, of such performances, including royal entries.1 As Richard Dutton has argued: To ignore the civic pageants of the Tudor and Stuart period is to ignore the one form of drama which we know must have been familiar to all the citizens of London, and thus an important key to our understanding of those times and of the place of dramatic spectacle in early modern negotiations of national, civic, and personal identity.2 Dutton signals a critical investment that Tracey Hill further enunciates, arguing that we must assess early modern lord mayor’s shows precisely for their public and complexly collaborative nature as spectacles.

  • Two Unrecorded Incunables: Rouen, Circa 1497, and Lyons, Circa 1500
    TWO UNRECORDED INCUNABLES: ROUEN, CIRCA 1497, AND LYONS, CIRCA 1500 DAVID J.SHAW FOR a number of years, I have been re-examining the British Library's books printed in France between 1501 and 1520 for a typographical catalogue of the Library's French post-incunables. This catalogue is a revision of the unpublished manuscript of Col. Frank Isaac's Index to the British [Museum] Library's books printed in France between 1501 and 1520 which remained incomplete at his death in 1943. The Indexes of books printed between 1501 and 1520 were started by Robert Proctor, who pubUshed the volume for Germany in 1903 as an outgrowth from his incunable catalogue, and were continued by Isaac for Italy (published in 1938)^ and for France (unpublished).^ As with the incunable catalogues, these Indexes are arranged according to Proctor's methodology - by place of printing, then by printer, and for each printer the books are hsted in chronological order. The main function of the work is to attribute unsigned books to their printer when possible and to order the production of each workshop chronologically, assigning dates where necessary. As with the incunable catalogues, a large part of this task involves the identification and classification of each printer's typographical material. I have tried to extend this aspect of the work, so that the finished catalogue should present important new evidence on the supply of type in France in the early sixteenth century and on its use in the printing-houses of the time. The undated books pose problems at both ends of the chronological span.

  • The Octavo Package Stefan A
    TUGboat, Volume 23 (2002), No. 3/4 269 The Octavo Package Stefan A. Revets Abstract The Octavo package is a modification of the standard LATEX book class, written to help produce books of clas- sical design, format and layout. The page sizes made available are the classical octavo sizes and the margins are calculated according to late Gothic precepts. An at- tempt is made to maintain the uniformity of the printing grid, and display is kept unobtrusive. − − ∗ − − 1 Introduction Donald Knuth developed TEX because of his grow- ing dissatisfaction with the commercial typesetting of his books `The Art of Computer Programming' [4]. The program grew into a typesetting system, with a great deal of attention and ingenuity devoted to the calculations of the placement of letters, words and paragraphs on the page. The preface of the TEXbook begins with the words `This is a handbook about TEX, a new typesetting system intended for the creation of beautiful books . ' [3]. More people began to use TEX, and, with the advent of LATEX, ready-made class files became part of the system. The standard style and class files tended to show off the capabilities of the system, rather than con- form to good design. Philip Taylor put it with some humour and considerable precision: `Knuth, in his closing exhortation, wrote: \Go forth now and create masterpieces of the publishing art." Nowhere, so far as I can trace, did he write: \and let every one of them shriek `TEX' from every page". ' [9]. Class files have been proposed and are available from CTAN which give the more fastidious user the means with which to moderate at least some of the excesses of these standard LATEX styles.

  • A Leaf from a Gutenberg Bible Illuminated in England
    A LEAF FROM A GUTENBERG BIBLE ILLUMINATED IN ENGLAND EBERHARD KONIG OLD libraries, even those with a great tradition in providing information of a high standard, may sometimes benefit from visitors who insist on not confining themselves to what is listed or catalogued, although the outcome will frequently be—to the annoyance of all concerned—that the search was for something that does not necessarily exist. This situation is all too familiar to those art historians who are experts of illumination and who trace special styles of decoration in manuscripts or printed books; moreover, they do not very often meet librarians who take them to the shelves or are willing to waste days looking for one item which cannot be identified by a precise shelf-mark. It has happened several times that I wished to find objects in the British Library which I could not properly identify, and I have encountered the kindest possible help on each occasion, even when in the end we had to conclude that the book we had looked for did not really exist. ^ But the last time this happened the search was successful: to her own astonishment Lotte Hellinga found in the British Library collection of incunabula a forgotten leaf of a Gutenberg Bible which is not listed in its catalogue, BMC^ one of tbe greatest of all catalogues of incunabula.^ It was not by divination that I asked to see this leaf. Seymour de Ricci had listed it in 1911,-^ and Paul Schwenke, perhaps the only scholar to make a thorough study of all the copies of the Gutenberg Bible known during his lifetime, and who was well acquainted with questions of binding and decoration, described the leaf in his Ergdnziingsband (1923) to the first (and brilliant) facsimile of the Berlin copy of the Gutenberg Bible."^ Subsequently the fragment vanished from the Gutenberg literature, and apparently also from the memories of incunabulists.

  • Folios, Quartos & Publishing Folios, Quartos, and Publishing
    The English Renaissance in Context: Folios, Quartos & Publishing Folios, Quartos, and Publishing Publishing & Piracy The quarto shown here is a fake! The title page states that it was printed “I. Roberts” [James Roberts] in 1600. But, it was actually set from a copy of the first quarto edition (Q1,1600) in 1619 by William Jaggard for Thomas Pavier. In fact, the supposed printer, James Roberts, was already dead at the time of this quarto’s printing. This edition of Merchant – called the second quarto (Q2)—is one of nine notorious editions of Shakespeare’s plays printed in an unauthorized and aborted effort to capitalize on Shakespeare’s renown shortly after his death in 1616. University of Pennsylvania Libraries - 1 - Furness Shakespeare Collection The English Renaissance in Context: Folios, Quartos & Publishing Penn’s Horace Howard Furness Library owns two more of the nine “Pavier Quartos,” King Lear and Henry V. Seventeenth-century book buyers often bound Pavier’s texts together, ironically allowing more copies of these forgeries to survive than any other early quarto editions of Shakespeare. What we would today consider a violation of intellectual property rights has given us several irreplaceable Shakespearean texts. These quartos are sources of important alternative readings of words and lines. Pavier and Jaggard had already printed and sold, as Shakespeare’s, plays that modern scholars omit from the canon of Shakespeare’s works. The concept of copyright was not yet established in their day, although the Stationer’s Company maintained a registry for print publications. If a printer-bookseller wanted to publish a text, he had to pay to secure his right to do so via the Stationer’s Register.

  • The Boston Edition of the Baskett Bible
    24 American Antiquarian Society [April, THE BOSTON EDITION OF THE BASKETT BIBLE BY CHARLES L. NICHOLS. NVESTIGATION in the course of bibliographical I study reveals many facts of great interest, not the least of which are in the field of lost or ghbst books. Lost books are those evidence of the printing of which is reasonably certain; ghost books, those the existence of which depends upon probable rather than exact evidence. In either case the appearance of a single copy is the only proof positive of its existence, a result delayed frequently for many years. One of the most interesting examples of this state- ment, and there are many, is the finding of the first edition of the Massachusetts Bay Colony Laws. Edward Johnson, in his ' ' Wonder-working Provi- dence"^ of 1654, states that a collection of the existing laws was ordered to be made and printed by the General Court and that "in the year 1648 they were printed and to be seen of all men." As no copy turned up it was the general opinion that there was some error in the statement. Two hundred and fifty-five years after this Evans, in his "American Bibliography" expressed the opinion that this edition had been printed as stated but that the price of three shillings per copy^ was prohibitive and that the edition was used as waste paper or burned. Five years later, in 1908, a copy was described in the Church catalogue and today this, the only known copy, after an interval of two "Prince Society Edition, p.
