Hello, everyone. I have never written an article so seriously about how to become a jewelry designer on my own.
I have a friend who is studying business school in England.
After studying for two years, I found that I didn't particularly like business.
When I was confused about the future, I began to think about what I really like-jewelry design.
But from the beginning, her head was big. How should she start to change? She has no basis in painting and no knowledge of jewelry. Can she do it?
Even if you apply for a postgraduate degree in British jewelry design, you must pass the design exam. ?
In fact, since you can find your favorite direction, it's not too late to take it step by step.
I recommended five jewelry books for her to learn by herself first. Let's share some achievements of her self-taught jewelry design.
I have read a lot of jewelry books in the jewelry design industry for so many years.
Most of the covers are beautiful and flashy.
If you teach yourself jewelry design, you will find that there is almost nothing worth learning in the books you buy.
Self-study jewelry design, order is very important.
Step 1: Self-study jewelry design must first learn to draw. Regarding the study of painting, I recommend two design books to you:
Introduction to Japanese Jewelry Design and Drawing
Although this book is a few years old, its contents are still very valuable now.
Main focus: 1. The use of basic design tools in jewelry design. 2. Gemstone description and coloring skills 3. Metal description and coloring skills
Design case (this part is vague, so it is better for beginners to skip it and study it later)
The expressive technique of jewelry painting
Part of this book will be repeated with the first book, but the content is more comprehensive and detailed.
The most important thing in this book is to tell you.
1: perspective and structure of jewelry design 2: basic principles of three views
This book will be more professional and strict in design and drawing?
Step 2: A basic jewelry designer must know how to make materials and techniques.
This book mainly tells how precious metals, other metals and other natural materials are used in jewelry.
Step 3: A qualified jewelry designer must know the properties of various gems and how to match them reasonably.
Encyclopedia of Jewelry Appreciation Almost all kinds and attributes of gems. Can you distinguish nature? Synthesis.
The fourth step: study the above four books, and then make a noble creation.
? The book Jewelry Design mainly tells the inspiration of design creation and how to design jewelry.
? It is strongly recommended that designers must watch it.
Even if I have been engaged in this for so many years, I will still read this book often, which always gives me new design inspiration.
[Shy R] These books are selected one by one from hundreds of jewelry-related books, and I will be happy to share them with you if necessary.
The above is what I shared with all my friends who love jewelry design today!
