Opis

Character Sketch outlines a theory of costume rendering that explores how a designer conceptualizes and creates a character on the page. Beginning with how to create a character through gestural poses, the book explores and explains the use of line, shape, color, proportion, and texture with different mediums. Color concept and color control are also discussed, along with step-by-step painting techniques that demonstrate how to convey the character and costume designs. This book codifies Helen Huang’s acclaimed method of using creative imagination to make costumes "magic garments" that help transport the actor to a different time, place, and character.
