Drawing Basics and Video Game Art : Classic to Cutting-Edge Art Techniques for Winning Game Design
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (page 239) and index.

Video games are not a revolution in art history, but an evolution. Whether the medium is paper or canvas or a computer screen, the artist's challenge is to make something without depth seem like a window into a living, breathing world. Video game art is no different. The author demonstrates how video games allow players to experience visual art in a new way and gives readers an introduction to basic drawing skills--light, value, color--as well as detailed instruction for using these methods to design complex characters and worlds. This book gives any game designer the right foundation in classical art techniques to create meaningful emotional experiences for gamers.
