El dibujo es la herramienta fundamental en el desarrollo de un mueble. Un croquis o un boceto a mano siguen siendo el punto de partida que captura el momento mágico de confluencia con la idea, donde un trazo inicia su larga andadura hasta convertirse en un nuevo producto. Planteado a modo de collage, este libro pretende aproximarse a la realidad del sector del mueble. Incorpora aquellas metodologías, nuevas y tradicionales, que definen el oficio de diseñador especializado en mobiliario; aborda las prácticas particulares por tipologías y familias de muebles; e ilustra los procesos de desarrollo así como los ejemplos de productos de actual referencia en el mercado.

Of all the artistic genres, the still life is the one that gives the fullest measure of the ingenuity and plastic imagination of a creator. Not only the work but also the theme is the artist's creation. Still life becomes, in expert hands, something full of life, intensified by a creativity that knows how to turn the simplest objects into truly expressive signs full of meaning. However, this is only possible when you have a solid knowledge of the basic fundamentals of drawing. This work deals with these fundamentals and many other aspects: from the rudiments of drawing simple objects to the most sophisticated finishes of a drawing, the reader will find in it plenty of inspiration to develop their own work.

Notes are the fastest and most spontaneous way to capture a model from a few main, bold lines. They also constitute an interesting testing ground to acquire greater mastery in the line, practice with different compositions, develop techniques, interpretations and daring deformations. It is very useful for acquiring a skill in drawing, sharpening our observation, enlivening walks in nature or creating an attractive travel notebook. The key to success lies in learning to structure and synthesize information to obtain effective results. This work provides sufficient tools to fit, outline and succinctly represent a real model. This process is explained through numerous images and notes accompanied by practical demonstrations, tips, professional tricks and short step-by-step exercises.

Shading is the most used resource in drawing manuals, and one of the ones that requires the most learning time. The placement of shadows is not an arbitrary matter, but rather responds to systematic rules that determine their position, shape, extension and density. This work exposes several procedures to rationalize shading and get the most out of its representation. It studies how shadows are drawn, what the most common methods are, their correct relationship with light, and how to represent volumes with basic chiaroscuro techniques to achieve the desired three-dimensionality and depth effect. In short, it is a very complete compendium that tells novice artists how to correctly solve any shading variant, based on exercises and steps by step that serve as inspiration and encourage them to put into practice all the techniques described.
