How to Render
Many of you have been asking me about what books and DVDs I recommend for different skills in art. So I have decided to start posting information on the art books and art DVDs I recommend. So to start off with I thought I would post about Scott Robertson wonderful DVDs on shading and rendering from the Gnomon Workshop. His rendering and shading DVD series consists of three DVDs. And I would recommend you get all three and watch them several times. This set is a must for any artist. Below are direct links to each DVD at Amazon.
