Fantasy Art Drawing Skills: All the Art Techniques, Demonstrations, and Short Cuts You Need to Master Fantasy Art

I just received this book today, and it's very inspiring! While I'm not a beginner, I can say I learned a good portion from the technique/composition/values parts of the book. The anatomy and the tools sections are very basic and introductory. I Think this is a book for someone whose already familiar with some anatomy basics. As such, they would be familiar with the tools used and so makes that section of the book sort of redundant.To a beginner, this book is much too shallow and only has a few pages dedicated to most aspects of drawing (anatomy, figures, perspective, lighting etc) so again, I recommend it to someone whose touched on the basics. Someone in an art-2 class would benefit the most from this book, with more advanced/intermediate artists only getting the benefit of certain parts of the book, and, of course, inspiration from the amazing illustrations splashing every page.All in all, it has a place on my art desk, and I've jotted down ideas and notes and highlighted and bookmarked parts that will undoubtedly come in handy in future projects.

Nice overview of fantasy art techniques; took me only one day to attach tabs and notes. Love it!

The book came in perfect condition and looks like it's going to be pretty informational on both technique and inspiration.

I love this book...so many useful hints and tips for improving ones drawing. I love it!

Love it! Been checking it out from library for over a year, but it's one that MUST be on the shelf full-time!

Very detailed info on how to draw fantasy art full of illustrations and inspiration. Can use as a tutorial.

very interesting great skill set techniques.

Cheap and in Perfect Condition. :O)

this was a gift, but the recipient seemed genuinely very impressed

Muito bom livro. Recomendo fortemente.

英文は読めません。絵だけを目当てに買いました。画集というわけではないので文字が多くなるのも当然なのでしょうが、それにしては空白が多い。とにかく物足りない本です。掲載されている絵の点数が少ないですし、センスも古臭くて中途半端。途中から頭身や解剖図や透視図法などが出てきたりと、何がしたかったのかさっぱりです。『ファンタジーアート』という語を見てその辺を期待すると肩透かしを食らいます。海外の作家による最新のファンタジーが見たければゲームなどの画集を買ったほうがよっぽどいいのでしょう。英文を読める人が“講座”として読むのならば評価も変わるかもしれまんが、絵目当てではオススメできません。
