The geometry of occluding contours on meshes and on smooth surfaces is described in detail, together with al- gorithms for extracting contours, computing their visibil- ity, and creating stylized renderings and animations. Exact methods and hardware-accelerated fast methods are both described, and the trade-offs between different methods are discussed. The tutorial brings together and organizes mate- rial that, at present, is scattered throughout the literature. It also includes some novel explanations, and implementation tips. A thorough survey of the field of non-photorealistic 3D ren- dering is also included, covering other kinds of line drawings and artistic shading.

  • Creating Manga-Style Artwork in Corel Painter X
    Creating manga-style artwork in Corel® Painter™ X Jared Hodges Manga is the Japanese word for comic. Manga-style comic books, graphic novels, and artwork are gaining international popularity. Bronco Boar, created by Jared Hodges in Corel Painter X The inspiration for Bronco Boar comes from my interest in fantastical beasts, Mesoamerican design motifs, and my background in Japanese manga-style imagery. In the image, I wanted to evoke a feeling of an American Southwest desert with a fantasy twist. I came up with the idea of an action scene portraying a cowgirl breaking in an aggressive oversized boar. In this tutorial, you will learn about • character design • creating a rough sketch of the composition • finalizing line art • the coloring process • adding texture, details, and final colors 1 Character Design This picture focuses on two characters: the cowgirl and the boar. I like to design the characters before I work on the actual image, so I can concentrate on their appearance before I consider pose and composition. The cowgirl's costume was inspired by western clothing: cowboy hat, chaps, gloves, and boots. I added my own twist to create a nontraditional design. I enlisted the help of fellow artist and partner, Lindsay Cibos, to create a couple of conceptual character designs based on my criteria. Two concept sketches by Lindsay Cibos. These sketches helped me decide which design elements and colors to use for the character's outfit. Combining our ideas, I sketched the final design using a custom 2B Pencil variant from the Pencils category, switching between a size of 3 pixels for detail work and 5 pixels for broader strokes.

  • A Non-Photorealistic Lighting Model for Automatic Technical Illustration
    A Non-Photorealistic Lighting Model For Automatic Technical Illustration Amy Gooch Bruce Gooch Peter Shirley Elaine Cohen Department of Computer Science University of Utah = http:==www.cs.utah.edu Abstract Phong-shaded 3D imagery does not provide geometric information of the same richness as human-drawn technical illustrations. A non-photorealistic lighting model is presented that attempts to nar- row this gap. The model is based on practice in traditional tech- nical illustration, where the lighting model uses both luminance and changes in hue to indicate surface orientation, reserving ex- treme lights and darks for edge lines and highlights. The light- ing model allows shading to occur only in mid-tones so that edge lines and highlights remain visually prominent. In addition, we show how this lighting model is modified when portraying models of metal objects. These illustration methods give a clearer picture of shape, structure, and material composition than traditional com- puter graphics methods.

  • Learning to Shadow Hand-Drawn Sketches
    Learning to Shadow Hand-drawn Sketches Qingyuan Zheng∗1, Zhuoru Li∗2, and Adam Bargteil1 1University of Maryland, Baltimore County 2Project HAT fqing3, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract We present a fully automatic method to generate detailed and accurate artistic shadows from pairs of line drawing sketches and lighting directions. We also contribute a new dataset of one thousand examples of pairs of line draw- ings and shadows that are tagged with lighting directions. Remarkably, the generated shadows quickly communicate the underlying 3D structure of the sketched scene. Con- sequently, the shadows generated by our approach can be used directly or as an excellent starting point for artists. We demonstrate that the deep learning network we propose takes a hand-drawn sketch, builds a 3D model in latent space, and renders the resulting shadows. The generated shadows respect the hand-drawn lines and underlying 3D space and contain sophisticated and accurate details, such Figure 1: Top: our shadowing system takes in a line drawing and as self-shadowing effects. Moreover, the generated shadows a lighting direction label, and outputs the shadow.

  • Sleek Illustration That Fades from Line Art to Color
    Sleek Illustration that Fades from Line Art to Color In this tutorial, you will work with a few images you chose and you will create a nice looking illustration. The idea behind this illustration was to create a war between reality and line art. Video Tutorial Our video editor Gavin Steele has created this series of video tutorials to compliment this line art + image tutorial. Step 1 First create a new document that is 1100 pixels wide by 1500 pixels high at a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. For this project I will use a texture that I like very much. I would like to thank the author of this texture Princess-of-Shadows for putting this together. Now, move the texture into your document. Step 2 Next you need to select the images you will use for this design. I bought three nice images that you might be familiar with 1, 2, 3. Let’s start with image 1, and using the Pen Tool (P) you need to create a path around the dancer. Step 3 Now that you finished creating the path you need to set your brush size to 1px and Hardness at 100%. Next create a new layer and name it "contour1." Next, using the Pen Tool (P) right-click then select Stroke Path, select the brush and make sure the Simulate Pressure is not selected. Also, you need to make the stroke black. Step 4 Now that you have created the stroke do not delete the path. Next you need to press Command + Enter to transform the path into a selection and then you need to press the Add Layer Mask button.

  • The Aesthetic and Communicative Values of Illustrations Used in Infographic
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDIES IN ART AND TECHNOLOGY ISSN: 2735-4342 VOLUME 2, ISSUE 2, 2019, 14 – 23. www.egyptfuture.org/ojs/ THE AESTHETIC AND COMMUNICATIVE VALUES OF ILLUSTRATIONS USED IN INFOGRAPHIC Amal Farag SOLIMAN * Department of Printed Design, Faculty of Fine Arts, Alexandria University, Egypt Abstract Illustrations are one of the communication tools that have been able to create for themselves the aesthetic and communicative characteristics and features that are unique to them from other communication tools. This field has been able to create for itself an artistic field that has changed and developed throughout history according to changing political and social conditions and technological progress, as well as with the development of various artistic styles. The relationship between drawings and texts was a close relationship that combines imagination, creativity and skill to express specific information or tell stories visually and create new worlds and bodies, so the drawings accompanying the texts acquired many visual and functional characteristics and characteristics in addition to providing us with a visual heritage that objectively reflects our culture. The illustrations have proven their ability to adapt to information design in communicating information and details and how they affect the perception and understanding of the recipient, as they give the viewer a detailed picture of topics that are difficult to see with the naked eye. The illustrations used in the design of the information have visual and aesthetic properties that distinguish them from other typographical elements that can appear in any design. Keywords The Aesthetic, Communicative, Values, Illustrations, Infographic. Introduction Today's Illustrations are one of the most important means of communication that occupy special importance because of their ability to clarify ideas and meanings, especially those that are difficult to express in words only.
