Perhaps good for beginners...but still of limited usefulness

2006-03-23
I was very excited about recieving this item...I've been a casual artist for my whole life and have been becoming increasingly interested in joining the gaming industry. I was hoping that this book would bridge the gap between a traditional fine art background and the gaming world at a basic level. Wrong.

This book is a basic drawing book, plain and simple. It takes you through the basics of drawing that you would get with any beginning drawing class; composition, perspective, etc. There are better drawing books out there for this purpose. It was also disconcerting to me that the person who wrote this book is not a particularly strong renderer...some of the illustrations that he has in the book to demonstrate certain principles look rough and have a lot of anatomical/perspective problems. I expected higher quality from someone with so much experience.

If you're a fledgling artist wanting to break into the concept art/gaming field I think your money would be much better spent on art supplies or more serious art/anatomy books. Hang out on conceptart.com and draw draw draw! Pass this book by.
