By Dominique Audette. With almost 1000 drawings, this comprehensive, highly detailed volume leads students systematically through the development of forms rendered in perspective, starting with simple boxes and working up to curvilinear jewelry objects. Beyond teaching the ability to render forms clearly for clients, this instruction will impart the ability to conceptualize forms in three dimensions.

This work was originally written in French and published in Quebec, where the author teaches jewelry illustration. The English-language edition features a new layout and more durable cover, while retaining every powerful image of the original. Instructional texts on jewelry rendering are rare, and none of them reaches back to the basics with the depth or detail found here. 296 pages with about 1000 illustrations.
