Art Book Resouce # 3!?
Are you trying to draw or paint outer space, but you're not sure where to begin? Are you having trouble getting the planets and moons to look like planets and moons? Are you having a difficult time getting the lighting on planets the way you want them to appear? If you need a guide, then Space Art: How to Draw and Paint Planets, Moons, and Landscapes of Alien Worlds by Michael Carroll may be the book you need!
The book covers the basics, including materials needed to create space and planets/moons (i.e.'s., circle and ellipse templates, kneaded erasers, graphite pencils), using Earth's mountains and mesas to practice other-worldly structures, and craters to create planets' surface, for example. Carroll also covers a basic breakdown of color theory, as well as acrylic paint and the tools needed to follow the steps in the book.
Each chapter covers a section on how to draw and paint both Earth and Earth-like planets, which includes volcanoes, water worlds, cloudscapes, and past and present forms of planets (i.e., Mars). Within each chapter, Carroll shows a step-by-step process, which includes techniques, ideas, and tips on how to either replicate what he is doing or to create your own with the techniques he presents. Also, he presents guest artists, each with their own story on their drawing/painting techniques.
Whether you are looking for new techniques, or if you're looking to find a way to create space drawings and paintings (and you're not sure where to begin), Space Art: How to Draw and Paint Planets, Moons, and Landscapes of Alien Worlds by Michael Carroll may be the book for you!:
