Approaches to archaeological illustration

Description

"This handbook is primarily designed to raise standards and is intended for students and for those working in archaeological illustration. It is a showpiece of some fine illustrators, working in quite different ways." "Drawings of objects, made from different materials are shown at their original drawn size as well as at their subsequent, reduced, published scale, so that the techniques used by the draftsman can be clearly seen and appreciated. Objects are described - often by specialists - and then the illustrators themselves describe their different drawing methods and approaches - giving step-by-step guides to how the illustrations were put together."--Jacket.
