Summary

This book introduces in detail the techniques of 3D colored-pencil illustration. The book is divided into five chapters, starting with the basics: the concept of 3D drawing, the tools used for drawing, and drawing techniques. It then combines 4 chapters and 18 cases—geometric forms, heartwarming cute objects, skill improvement, and spatial scenes—to explain 3D illustration techniques and steps in detail, from simple to advanced, so readers can easily follow the steps and draw interesting three-dimensional 3D illustrations.

Editor's review

My 3D Illustration Class is a systematic introductory guide for beginners in digital art. Author Yaya uses clear logic and a large number of practical cases to break the complex 3D design process into actionable steps. The book's value lies not only in technical explanation but also in the creative thinking it emphasizes—the transition from two-dimensional hand drawing to three-dimensional space is key to understanding modern visual storytelling. The book's deep integration of open-source tools such as Blender lowers the learning threshold, allowing readers to quickly turn ideas into concrete works. Compared with similar books, this book strikes a good balance between art theory and software practice and is especially suitable for creators eager to break through the boundaries of traditional drawing. Overall, this is a practical and inspiring tutorial whose structure reflects the author's rich teaching experience.

About the author

丫丫 Author

At present, only limited public information is available about Yaya; her nationality, dates of birth and death, and English name are not recorded in the database. According to the existing information, Yaya is the author of the art book My 3D Illustration Course, the only work by her held in the collection. The title suggests that the book is organized as a course, focusing on the drawing and presentation of three-dimensional illustration and aimed at readers who wish to learn illustration, especially three-dimensional visual expression. Books of this kind in the art category usually combine software operation, modeling ideas and aesthetic judgment, and authors often explain through step-by-step demonstrations to lower the threshold for beginners. Because reliable material on the author's life, professional background and creative experience is lacking, this introduction makes no speculation about her education, positions or honors, and confines itself to an objective description of the subject and direction of the work for readers' reference.
