Stunning Art and Thoughtful Tutorials Make This Book a Must-Have for Experienced Artists

I was thoroughly impressed by this book’s exceptional quality. The layout is well-crafted, seamlessly integrating with the tutorials to reflect the immense effort put into its creation. The artwork is truly top-notch, offering a visually captivating experience. Not only did I enjoy it immensely, but it also provided valuable inspiration and serves as an excellent reference for my future art projects. It’s worth noting that this book is not aimed at beginners, but rather at those with some drawing experience, as it focuses more on refining style than teaching the basics. This book is a standout for any seasoned artist looking to elevate their craft.

very handy as reference .

I found this book to be useful when it comes to different positions and styles . showing you how to sketch your character before adding the details which I found really helpful. I don't recommend this book for beginners who wants to start from scratch but I do recommend those who already know the basic of drawing and wish to draw better when it comes to body and different character styles .
