NPR Libray

[William Alexander]

Greetings,

 

I've been working with PS and npr techniques quite a bit lately. The rendering is of a library design, viz photometric lighting full radiosity and heavy npr in PS. Trying for a heavy hand sketched feel.

 

Library NPR Rendering

 

PS- Heavy Strokes, Pencil, Inverted Glowing Edges, Find edges, gradient underpainting & dodging, burning, overlay, multiply, tweeking.

 

It's far from the original image

What do you think, a good medevil book and a gobblet of grog?

good sketch!, you could add some lines like guides of the perspective.

IMHO, npr should not be some sort of escape goat technique to hide the details of what is supposed to be presented, or to cover up for the loss of detail.

 

Art is art in architecture as long as the details arent deprived of eye attention. Otherwise, its better categorized as an abstraction.

 

Just like as what is seen in better traditional architectural NPR illustrations, the lines and points and hatching does not destroy nor hide the details while the main sketch lines only accentuate the totality of the form.

 

The details of the photoreal rendering were lost on the npr.

It looks more like a smudged photograph. I feel it should certainly have more details. By looking at the original and comparing it with the NPR, I feel that a hand sketch would have been much quicker and less troublesome in making the image instead of going in for digital.
