The silhouettes in this splendid collection, selected from archives of late 19th- and early 20th-century graphic arts, offer designers and artists nearly 1000 designs ideal for illustrating a vast array of subjects: the human profile and figure, coiffed and dressed in many different ways; familiar animals, flowers and birds; trains, planes, automobiles, ships and many more.

"Silhouettes are an increasingly popular form of capturing portraits with a history that goes back hundreds of years. In this unique how-to book, silhouette artist Charles Burns teaches the basic techniques needed for making silhouettes: learning the proportions of a profile, tracing a shadow, reducing an image, drawing and cutting freely, and his own 'natural waves' technique. You'll learn to create scissor-cut portraits, painted silhouettes, hollow-cut silhouettes, silhouettes painted on glass, caricatures, and more, as well as how to use color, appliqué, and three-dimensional effects in creative and innovative ways and how to mount and display your creations."--Page 4 of cover.
