Mechanika, Revised and Updated: Creating the Art of Space, Aliens, Robots and Sci-Fi

The book is a great look a the techniques used by digital artists in he film industry. It contains a rather splendid collections of tips for current and aspiring artists.

I love this book. It has amazing refference art and is easy to follow along with. I haven't mastered it yet, like every skill it takes practice.Pro: physical books don't depend on internet, or multiple transactions. I love these art books.

Great book!! Love the sketches and process. I am an illustrator and animator, so I'm always on thr look out for great visual development books. I've read about this one from an article of must have books for concept artists and this was one of them.

Decent look into a technique of illustrating sci-fi, but pretty beginner based. The artist is great! It is inspirational pulp from the likes of Siggraph more than it is a variety pack of methodology, but hey, it's entitled "Mechanika", A mech-nut like myself will love the techniques revealed, and it is a nice glimpse at a single artist and his method, but that's what a beginner longs to see. How the successful guys do it. It is not an exploration of multiple techniques and styles. I wanted more from it, more variety more art, but maybe that's the point. Make more. It is worth the price of most industry based magazines to see this guy's stuff, but again, I wanted more from it. More bang. It was supposed to be "updated". I didn't get that from it. It felt dated, relative to current techniques, but it is something I'm glad I have! I hate giving it just a three. Alot of people could get alot of good info from it. I'll upgrade it to a four! Good technique and developmental drawing is key to good work!

Straightforward technique.And a ‘keep it simple’ philosophy.Step by step instructions.Basic, affordable tools.Dimensional and achievable (w/ time) results.A+

Bought this for my grandson age 11. He was pleased and immediately started using the book.

I wanted to use this book to take my art to another level. I like the content inside and some of it will be helpful. But I wonder if they have a water station they dunk each book in before they ship it out. It was too late for me to return the book. But, I will not let this mishap deter my creativity.

Great for a beginner. I’m learning to draw meanly using my iPad and this book is really great. Shows u most of the steps of fantastic creations.

This is a very comprehensive book. It has a couple of good starting chapters, that will focus your skills. It then moves on to specific fantasy/sci fi types in each chapter.

An art teacher recommended this book, so I didn't look too closely into it before purchasing a copy. I really wish I had. The artwork is great, but it's nothing but a few dozen step by step examples of the artist creating sci-fi artwork. I was looking for something that would explain how to make sci-fi items, mechs, things like that. Those are *not* things you'll learn from this book. For all the information in here, I could have watched a few Youtube videos and come away with the same learning.

Ha molte strane figure e incredibili robot, se mi aiuta molto. mi è piaciuto molto il libro
