    漫画家の間の隠れたベストセラー「人体のデッサン技法」の著者ジャック・ハムによる、風景画のハウツー本。

     この本の特筆すべき所は、構図の基礎が丁寧に解説されていることである。その分量、実に約20ページ。この本の約1/6を占める充実ぶりだ。

     学校教育ではおざなりに扱われたり、必要以上に神秘化されたりしがちな、画面の分割や視線の誘導といった基本事項が、直線や四角形、矢印といった分かりやすい図形を用いて、懇切丁寧に説明されている。

     続く章では、地面の起伏や岩や山、植物、雲や水の具体的な描き方が、様々なパターンの実例と共に紹介されている。画材はいちおう鉛筆画が想定されているが、この本で身につくテクニックは、他の画材にも容易に応用がきくので問題はない。私自身、水彩やおえかきBBSで、この本の知識を存分に活用している。

    この本でただ一つ扱われていない分野を挙げるとすれば、透視図法の作図法である。この本から得るべき知識を得てから、他のパース等の専門書で補えば、万全といえよう。

    風景画やCGイラストなどの背景などを描き始めたが、どうにも画面が引き締まらない、という人が基礎を身につけたいなら、是非おすすめしたい一冊である。

    Avevo questo libro ai tempi della scuola, poi andato perso. Ho deciso di riacquistarlo perchè offre sempre spunti utili per il mio lavoro di illustratore.

    The publication date in the Amazon listing is 1988 but it is in fact a reissue of a book that was first published in 1972. That’s not a bad thing, not at all, but it does explain the style and content of this book, which is very much of the mid-C20th (think Andrew Loomis (books publ. 1939–56), Kimon Nicolaides (1941) and similar).

    Unlike newer books of this type, it’s dense with text (not very beautifully designed from a typography/book layout standpoint, unfortunately, but legible enough) and there are many drawn, black-and-white illustrations, again quite densely packed onto the page.

    It’s not a book to idly flick through for quick inspiration. On the other hand, it does repay careful reading with close study of the illustrations. All the techniques and principles are demonstrated with pencil drawings, but are easily applied to other media once mastered.

    Recommended for the serious student who not only seeks guidance on what/how to do things but who is also interested in *why* things work (or don’t work).

    Obwohl das Buch in englischer Sprache geschrieben ist, ist es ausgesprochen hilfreich. Die schrittweisen Illustrationen allein sind schon sehr nützlich, wenn man ein paar Brocken Englisch versteht, erschließt sich einem noch einiges mehr. Von vorn bis hinten sind hier alle Schritte zum Zeichnen von Landschaften enthalten, wie man einzelne Elemente zeichnet (es gibt eine Doppelseite mit verschiedenen Baumarten und weitere Seiten, wie man beginnt einen Baum zu zeichnen) bis hin dazu, wie man das Bild zu Beginn aufbaut und Tiefe erzeugt. Alles ist mit einer Fülle von Beispielen versehen. Sogar verschiedene Wolkentypen sind einmal beispielhaft aufgezeigt. Für totale Einsteiger in Sachen Landschaft fehlen allerdings ein paar grundlegende Techniken, aber die könnte man sich mit Geduld auch selbst erarbeiten. Wer schon ein bisschen gezeichnet hat, der sollte keine Probleme haben. Hervorragendes Buch, ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

    Very Good. I have learnt so much. My only regret is I did not come across art books by Jack Hamm sooner as I went to art college for years when younger and have never been taught anywhere near as much as I hvae in the books by because jack Hamm and Loomis books my art has improved a great deal. They inform you of tried and tested methods which have artists have used for down the ages. Worth getting you wont regret it.
