Artistic Aspects of Rendering

[ConSeannery]

Hallo everyone,

 

as a small part of my thesis I have to research the artistic aspects which make great renderings or images in general. That would include for instance:

 

- lights and shadows

- pictorial composition

- colors

 

or anything else you consider important.

 

I am wondering if you could link me to great resources which address these and other subjects relevant for creating great images. Ideally, these resources should be books, publications or other high quality texts which can be referenced in the bibliography of a thesis. If necessary I am also happy with normal websites or blog entries as a starting point ;-)

 

Thank you very much for any help!! :-)

What you mean ? I don't think he's planning a second run any soon if at all.

 

I've read mine copy 2 weeks ago.

Thanks Corey. That sounds indeed very useful although it appears to be a very practical and less theoretical guide. But maybe I'm mistaken. However, the website says that it can't be ordered any longer :-(

 

Any other suggestions?

Someone linked me this, not sure if it would help but it does mention the process work behind creating great renders, including lighting, composition, etc;
