内容简介
Arthur L. Guptill's classic "Rendering in Pen and Ink" has long been regarded as the most comprehensive book ever published on the subject of ink drawing. This is a book designed to delight and instruct anyone who draws with pen and ink, from the professional artist to the amateur and hobbyist. It is of particular interest to architects, interior designers, landscape architects, industrial designers, illustrators, and renderers. Contents include a review of materials and tools of rendering; handling the pen and building tones; value studies; kinds of outline and their uses; drawing objects in light and shade; handling groups of objects; basic principles of composition; using photographs, study of the work of well-known artists; on-the-spot sketching; representing trees and other landscape features; drawing architectural details; methods of architectural rendering; examination of outstanding examples of architectural rendering; solving perspective and other rendering problems; handling interiors and their accessories; and finally, special methods of working with pen including its use in combination with other media. The book is profusely illustrated with over 300 drawings that include the work of famous illustrators and renderers of architectural subjects such as Rockwell Kent, Charles Dana Gibson, James Montgomery Flagg, Willy Pogany, Reginald Birch, Harry Clarke, Edward Penfield, Joseph Clement Coll, F.L. Griggs, Samuel V. Chamberlain, Louis C. Rosenberg, John Floyd Yewell, Chester B. Price, Robert Lockwood, Ernest C. Peixotto, Harry C. Wilkinson, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, and Birch Burdette Long. Best of all, Arthur Guptill enriches the text with drawings of his own. 作者简介
Arthur L. Guptill (1891-1956) who co-founded Watson-Guptill Publications and was co-editor of American Artist magazine, was an architect, a painter, an art director, an author, and a teacher. Born in Gorham, Maine, he graduated with a degree in architecture from Pratt Institute in 1912, and then studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A partner in Bearse & Guptill, architectural designers and illustrators, from 1919 to 1925, Mr. Guptill was a freelance specialist in design, freelance advertising artist, and advertising agency consultant from 1916 to 1937. The founder, president, and director of activities of the Amateur Artists Association of America, Mr. Guptill wrote numerous art instruction books. He taught at Pratt and the Brooklyn Museum and was a member of the Art Directors Club of New York and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in England. Susan E. Meyer was born and raised in New York City. She was graduated from the University of Wisconsin and attended the Universita per Stranieri in Perugia, Italy. Ms. Meyer has had a long history of involvement with Arthur Guptill's work. For over seven years, as managing editor of Watson-Guptill Publications, the company he co-founded, she compiled and edited his books. In that capacity, she also compiled, edited, and collaborated on a number of other books on watercolorists and their techniques, painting portraits, and designing with type. In addition, Ms. Meyer was editor of American Artist magazine, where Guptill himself was once co-editor. She is the author of over a dozen books and is currently the director of Roundtable Press, Inc. in New York City.,,
墨线速写与城市叙事:钢笔画的视觉语言与创作实践 这是一本深入探索钢笔画(Pen and Ink Drawing)作为一种强大视觉叙事工具的权威指南。 本书聚焦于如何运用墨线、阴影和纹理的精确控制,捕捉现实世界的复杂性、光影的微妙变化,以及城市景观、建筑结构和人物动态中的内在节奏。它不仅仅是一本技巧手册,更是一部关于如何通过线条建立独特观察视角和个人表达方式的哲学探讨。 本书结构清晰,循序渐进,旨在帮助初学者建立扎实的基础,同时也为经验丰富的艺术家提供深化和拓展其表现手法的契机。全书分为四个主要部分:基础技法与材料科学、光影与空间构建、主题表现与叙事深度、以及高级应用与跨界融合。 第一部分:基础技法与材料科学——墨线之魂 本部分详尽剖析了钢笔画赖以生存的物质基础和基本操作。我们首先从工具的选择开始,细致对比了不同类型笔尖(如蘸水笔、走珠笔、针管笔)在出墨流畅度、线条粗细变化和耐用性上的差异。纸张的选择被提升到与墨水同等重要的地位,探讨了磅数、纹理(如冷压、热压)对墨水渗透、晕染效果及耐擦洗能力的决定性影响。 线条的解构与重构: 核心章节深入解析了线条的八大基本属性:粗细(Line Weight)、清晰度(Definition)、方向(Direction)、连续性(Continuity)、密度(Density)、质感(Texture)、节奏(Rhythm)和情感(Emotion)。书中通过大量对比范例展示了如何通过仅仅改变线条的粗细和疏密,来模拟木材的粗粝、金属的光滑或皮肤的柔软。我们详细讲解了“排线”(Hatching)、“交叉排线”(Cross-hatching)和“点画法”(Stippling)的精确应用,强调了它们在构建灰调层次中的不可替代性。 墨水的化学与美学: 探讨了不同类型墨水(如防水染料墨水、碳素墨水、色墨)的特性,特别关注了墨水在干燥时间、遮盖力以及对纸张纤维的侵蚀程度上的表现。书中特别设置了一章,专门针对如何处理墨水滴落(Blooms)和笔尖阻塞等常见技术难题,提供实用的预防和补救措施。 第二部分:光影与空间构建——雕塑时间的线条 钢笔画的魅力在于其对“光”的捕捉能力。本部分将重点放在如何将三维世界的明暗关系转化为二维平面上的黑白关系。 光线的解析与阴影的语言: 我们将光线分为主光、副光和反射光,并教授读者如何精确预测和描绘出“投影”(Cast Shadows)和“固有影”(Form Shadows)的边界与深度。书中详述了如何通过调整排线的密度和角度,来表现不同材质的漫反射与镜面反射效果,从而赋予物体以体积感。一个重要的练习是“去除高光”,即认识到在钢笔画中,留白(即纸张的白色)才是表现高光和亮部的关键手段,而非描绘。 透视与建筑的几何学: 针对城市和建筑主题,本部分提供了详尽的透视原理讲解,包括一点透视、两点透视乃至复杂的三点透视在钢笔画中的应用。重点在于如何利用“消失线”来确保建筑的尺度和比例的准确性。书中提供了“辅助网格的绘制与应用”的实用技巧,帮助艺术家在不依赖尺规的情况下,也能快速建立准确的透视骨架。 空气透视的实现: 探讨了如何在单色媒介中模拟景深。通过分析远景物体线条的减弱、细节的简化以及墨色的“变淡”(通过稀疏的排线或浅灰度处理),营造出空气感和空间层次。 第三部分:主题表现与叙事深度——捕捉瞬间的故事 本部分将理论与创作实践紧密结合,指导读者如何将技术转化为有感染力的视觉故事。 城市景观的节奏与动态: 城市是钢笔画最经典的主题之一。我们分析了如何捕捉繁忙街道的动态感,如何处理密集的建筑群落,以及如何在不陷入过度描摹的陷阱下,提炼出城市景观的本质特征。书中特别强调“选择性细节”(Selective Detail),即决定在画面中保留哪些信息,弱化哪些信息,以引导观者的视线。 人物速写与动态捕捉: 针对人物描绘,重点在于快速捕捉姿态和神态的精髓。不同于传统素描,钢笔画的人物速写更依赖于富有生命力的、一气呵成的线条。我们详细拆解了人体结构的关键点(如关节、重心线)以及如何用几组关键的轮廓线来定调人物的动作和情绪。 自然形态的纹理模仿: 深入研究了如何用墨线表现树叶的疏密、岩石的裂纹、水面的流动感等自然元素。书中提供了专门的“纹理词汇表”,帮助艺术家将观察到的自然质感转化为一套可操作的线条组合方案。 第四部分:高级应用与跨界融合——超越黑白 最后一部分着眼于拓展钢笔画的表现边界,探索其在现代艺术实践中的更多可能性。 墨彩的融合与色彩的暗示: 虽然钢笔画以单色著称,但本章介绍了如何巧妙地引入水彩(Watercolor Washes)或淡墨(Diluted Ink)作为辅助色层,以增强画面的氛围感和暖度,而又不破坏钢笔线条的主导地位。重点在于控制水与墨的相互作用,保持线条的清晰度。 放大与缩小:细节的聚焦与整体的概括: 探讨了在不同创作规模下的技法调整。例如,在超大尺度的建筑外立面绘制中,如何使用更精细的工具和极高的排线密度来维持一致性;以及在小型速写中,如何通过极简的线条和大胆的留白来捕捉瞬间印象。 版画与数字辅助的可能性: 简要介绍了钢笔画的线条可以如何转化为其他媒介,例如作为蚀刻版画(Etching)的底稿,或者如何将完成的墨线扫描并导入数字软件中进行色彩叠加或纹理优化,以实现传统技法与现代工作流程的结合。 总结而言,本书提供了一个全面的框架,教导读者将钢笔和墨水视为拓展自身观察力和表达力的延伸。它强调的不是机械的复制,而是通过精确的墨线控制,构建一个充满光影、结构和故事的、独一无二的视觉世界。
