    One of the best artist

    I saw this book multiple times on some website and many people talking about it but I only bought it recently on your website, this is one of the best I've read. Everything, from the start of the author journey to the release of this book, is perfect and we learn so much from his experience. That's why I just bought his new book on kickstarter, I hope the quality will be the same!

    Amazing artist, breathtakingly beautiful book

    Guweiz is one of my art heroes and it was a pleasure to read his book. I learned a lot about him and his art style and it has made me appreciate his work even more. I enjoyed reading about his thought processes and looking at his WIPs; I find myself thinking about his advice as I work on my own pieces nowadays.

    Great art and great advice

    At first I thought the art was too dark, but after reading about the author’s process and how he developed as an artist, I understand that’s his style. It’s a lovely style. I love the details and the backstory he has for each piece. I feel the advices he gives is very honest.
