About the artist

Guweiz began drawing when he was seventeen, inspired by an anime art tutorial on YouTube. Discovering a natural passion for the genre, he continued to learn and draw, and quickly amassed a fanbase for his edgy art style. Throughout this book, readers will discover his artistic story from the very beginning, with behind-the-scenes details about how some of his most popular pieces were created. Guweiz reveals his secrets for turning external influences into truly original digital art, including that all-important narrative that takes drawing and painting beyond the purely visual.

    Overseas expenses

    This book is solid the issue is the shipping cost for people overseas. This book is available on Amazon by the same publisher I believe, along with many other places. The price for shipping overseas brought the book to 61 dollars and you also have to pay just to track your package.

    As far as the book goes it's good, although there are 3 times where the art is cut of akwardly because the middle of the book separates the pages. Other than that the book has good advice and cool art.

    Thank you for your feedback, David. Unfortunately, as a small UK-based company, we are unable to compete on shipping costs with companies such as Amazon. We do our best to offer the best shipping prices possible and we continue to work on these, while acknowledging a decreased reliability of services over the last few years. We want you to get your books as quickly as possible, first time round!
    With regards to the art layout, we take on board your feedback. Even in such a large format book, it is tricky to display some of the images to showcase them best, hence Guweiz's decision to rotate some. But we are glad you are enjoying the content nonetheless!

    Amazing

    "This book is very insightful on how one can begin to implement intentional narrative into connected illustrations and breaks down a lot of the thought process behind why things are staged/included the way they are in each drawing to connect them to each other. Also, just very pretty, high-quality prints of many illustrations. Loved the process shots and the technical explanation of the drawing process."

    Great study

    This book, the artist, the art are brilliant. I'm gifting a second copy of this book to my daughter who is become a great artist on her own. She needs to study the work in this book for inspiration. Thank you so much for making books and artist like this available to us. Keep up the great work.
