Eye Inspiration,
By "jaypaint" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Soft Surfaces: Visual Research for Artists, Architects, and Designers (Hardcover)
I have both of the "surface" books by Ms. Juracek. I have looked through them again and again as a child would with a picture book! These are the kind of photos I often take, to capture the beautiful surfaces that the world has to offer. The images are inspirational starting points for creating my own art work.
4.0 out of 5 stars
A review from a 3d perspective,
By A Customer
This review is from: Soft Surfaces: Visual Research for Artists, Architects, and Designers (Hardcover)
As a computer artist, I have found both of Juracek's books to be extremely useful in creating photorealistic textures. Her samples are colorful, varied, and highly recommended.
