How to render : the fundamentals of light, shadow and reflectivity / Scott Robertson with Thomas Bertling.
Explains how the human brain interprets the visual world around us, as well as the subject of visually communicating the form of an object in easy to understand lessons through the use of drawings, photography, and more.
