Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this jewelry design class:

One of the most critical aspects of jewelry design is to render your image in such a way that its structure, shading, and texturing appear to be fully realistic. This concept of photo-realism is vital to a designer’s success, as the surface properties of jewels and their settings all create various interplay with light, shadow, and the surrounding environment.

From a competitive standpoint, the more efficient those designers can be in rendering a photo realistic representation of their designs, the more opportunities they create for success and customer satisfaction. This course introduces students to the most advanced technologies for rapid rendering, as well as the classic methods that have served and inspired designers for centuries.

Takeaways

  • Draw and render faceted gemstones and cabochons.
  • Illustrate surfaces, shapes, and textures in white and yellow metal.
  • Make realistic renderings by understanding the behavior of light and shade.
  • Students will leave with renderings for their portfolio.

Recommended Classes

  • Advanced Rendering
  • Traditional Watercolor Techniques

    I would suggest taking a class at NYJDI to anyone who asks. I have taken 3 courses and enjoyed all of them. I've learned so much and have been able to incorporate it in my professional work and my side business.

Question from Curious
This class teaches drawing techniques only, correct? When it speaks of rendering it is referring to hand rendering? I do not want to take a computer rendering class!
Answer from Georgia C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there, yes, this course is a computer drawing class. Rapid Rendering is hand rendering. Hope this helps!
Answer from Curious
I’m not sure what your answer means. It suggests both. This is the Rapid Rendering class so ONLY hand drawing? Thank you
Answer from Georgia C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
