This book is about the fundamentals of light, shadow and reflectivity; the focus is firmly on helping to improve visual understanding of the world around and on techniques for representing that world. Rendering is the next step after drawing to communicate ideas more clearly. Building on what Scott Robertson and Thomas Bertling wrote about in How To Drawing and Sketching Objects and Environments from Your Imagination, this book shares everything the two experts know about how to render light, shadow and reflective surfaces. This book is divided into two major the first explains the physics of light and shadow. One will learn how to construct proper shadows in perspective and how to apply the correct values to those surfaces. The second section focuses on the physics of reflectivity and how to render a wide range of materials utilizing this knowledge. Throughout the book, two icons appear that indicate either “observation” or “action.” This means the page or section is about observing reality or taking action by applying the knowledge and following the steps in creating your own work. Similar to our previous book, How To Draw, this book contains links to free online rendering tutorials that can be accessed via the URL list or through the H2Re app.

There’s a disturbance in the Force, a crack in the Matrix, whatever you want to call it, but marketing is a plague these days. You feel it when you roll your eyes at yet another telemarketing phone call, unsolicited e-mail or text or any communication that tears down brand bridges instead of building them. Digital marketing hasn’t helped things either. But…it wasn’t always this way. This book is part rant, part master classroom, part valuable workbook and part proof positive that marketing simply needs to do and BE better. I think we (as a profession) need to stop doing the things that grew the empires of big tech like Google, Facebook (or whatever they’re called now) Twitter, TikTok, etc., and get back to doing the core things that actually build relationships with our audiences. I’m going to do my best to show you how—and hopefully entertain you along the way.

I have never witnessed any coverage that accurately reflects what life is like for those employed in the industry. There is a lot of media hype, but that does not reflect the actual team members’ daily routine or what they give up in life to provide this entertainment to the world. There is a lot of stress, and some danger, which is managed, but it takes a personal toll. The stress has to be relieved in some way. You don’t just work with your coworkers; you live with them, all over the world.This book reflects one life of a thousand, on one of thirty teams in the sport.

At some point in almost everyone’s life, they wish that they could get a redo; a fresh start to do it all over again. When you suffer a TBI (traumatic brain injury) you have no choice, your hard drive is scrubbed clean, and you have to start over with whatever brain you now posses. STAN is a fiction account based on a real TBI for a man at fifty three years old. He ran a successful business, and was knee deep in a divorce that included two children. His injury occurred two hundred miles from home, so friends, family, and pets had to travel. All nine of his neurologists suggested that he take up a foreign language, art, or study technology as he recovered because the human brain can generate so much from a clean slate. He was told that he would probably not be able to perform his previous job functions, and should consider a career change. At one point his family was told to just go home and get on with their lives, that he would spend the rest of his life in assisted living. He was also told that he was “lucky”. None of them had ever seen anyone survive this type of injury. As if the TBI weren’t enough he also had the two upper ribs on his left side through his left lung contacting his heart, and contracted pneumonia while he lay unconscious in the ICU on life support.So you think you’re having a bad day? Stan would beg to differ. Stan would say if you’re on this side of the grass, there are no bad days. Of course there is a lot of religion, and praying, in this type of environment. Stan won’t preach, but he learned from his own immediate rib counting exercise that Adam did not have an “extra” rib over Eve. They both have the same rib count, which made him question his religious beliefs. So whether your down and out in an AA meeting over your foopah’s, or you’re that CEO that needs to be sitting next to that person in an AA meeting, or you just lost your bid for President of the United States, or your wife just drove your new car into the garage door, and you want a redo, take one. It’s up to you. Stan can show you one way. You don’t have to break your brain. If you do break your brain, you’ll have no choice on the redo.

When an outbreak of humanoid wolf creatures take over the cities of Paris and London a series of events continue the seemingly out of no where disaster.

The average American considers the following to be minimum standards of living: no. 1-air conditioning, no. 2-hot running water, no. 3-an iPhone. Most people on the planet do not enjoy these extravagances. My hope for every American is to work outside the United States with non-Americans for one year before they are thirty years old. In this manner, one truly understands that Americans are different, not necessarily in a good way. Who is the one nation in the history of the world to unleash nuclear weapons on other humans? Sure there were reasons, but all media and political quibbling aside, only one country in the history of the world has dropped nuclear bombs on other human beings. Other people's goal is "to live just like the American's." They will catch up, or we will fall behind. With luxury comes responsibility. They go hand in hand. Please open your mind, relax, and enjoy my story.

Life on an Indian reservation is not easy. The average American believes that the enrolled Native Americans are lucky because they get a monthly payment for being enrolled, they are tax exempt, and they can’t get their land foreclosed on. While in many cases this is true to some extent, the reality is that these “benefits” keep the enrolled natives imprisoned in poverty with all the problems that follow. This is one Native’s story of growing up in poverty during the Great Depression, traveling the world, and realizing his people’s dilemma of trying to maintain a tribal heritage within a foreign government.
