Sketching from the Imagination: Characters

Cent percent this is a valuable book for illustrators and artists alike. It contains collective information and inspirational tidbits from well known illustrators. This includes their work methods, what inspires them, art materials they use, and valuable tips and experiences. The book is full of art and progressive sketches. Pages are of superior quality and the book is thick. It's a must have for art inspiration and motivation for all artists. Yes, it's expensive but well worth every penny.

So many artists.Beautiful book!!

Awsome book. Very inspiring and motivating for me.

I was expecting a lot more from the book in terms of visual storytelling, but only discovered fragmented advice from various artists and incomplete sketches that were not that great.

Ottimo libro, rapporto qualità prezzo molto buono. Adatto per chi ama vedere cosa c'è dietro alla creazione di un personaggio. Colmo di sketch e di consigli interessanti da parte dei vari autori. Sfogliarlo nei momenti morti sarà sempre d'aiuto!

Book is well illustrated and a good reference for comic artists and general illustrators.

LOVE this book! I can’t wait to buy the rest of the series! If you’re an artist or aspiring artist, this is a great series for you. It’s got TONS of different artists with different references and tips. Something I really enjoyed was seeing how different each artist was. There were some consistent themes in their advice, but a few people were completely different from the rest. There’s also a multitude of different art styles! It’s so great! Honestly anyone should be able to find inspiration from this book.

Ich besitze mittlerweile mehrere Bücher dieser Serie und bin immer wieder fasziniert von den unterschiedlichen Stilen der Künstlern. Es ist sehr interessant nachzulesen welche Materialien und Techniken verwendet werden. Hier finde ich außerdem immer wieder Inspiration beim Durchblättern für eigene Projekte oder probiere auch mal andere Sachen aus.

50 artistas en 300 hojas con 50 estilos distintos de diseñar personajes. Es un brainstorming magnifico para sacar ideas, ver trazos muy diferentes y darte cuenta de la variedad de opciones de diseño que hay para crear personajes con personalidad que te dejen atrapado en una hoja o en una pantalla... Personalmente junto con el de sci-fi es el que mas me gusta de los cuatro que tengo. Y que nadie se lleve a engaño, si lo que quieres es un libro-tutorial que te enseñe a dibujar characters este no es tu libro.
