Art Fundamentals: Theory in Practice

3D Total Publishing truly has an impressive book collection. I didn't know one could get love bombed by books but it really happened to me, cross my heart and hope to die!

Their collections have outstanding quality, not only in reference to content, layout and design but also in the physical quality of the books themselves.

I find their content to be spot on and relevant to art today, as a multi layered medium that ties together hands on craftsmanship with the complexity of high level digital artistry. The books are rich in the “know how” and give a pallet of styles from a collection of professional artists.

I was surprised by the level of detail around their products, many books included a complimentary high quality print of the artist work, and some books were autographed by the artist themselves. What a treat!

Their customer service is impeccable and personal. I was really aware that there is a human on the other side, funny how the absence of AI can make a human feel valued.

This book includes themes: light, color, perspective, composition, anatomy and narrative. Everything you need to develop an illustration. I see it highly recommended. The tutorials it contains allow you to exercise with digital painting, according to the techniques of different artists.
it is a condensed form with large images of the jobs that can be achieved. Although it may seem elementary, if you do the exercises you get consistency in the way you work and the knowledge of the steps to follow in a digital painting is reinforced.

This book is full of handy and helpful tips that you can use to enhance your own art work. The artists in this book show how you can use the art fundamentals to critique your own art and make improvements.

As a new artist still learning, I really enjoyed the tips and approaches used in this book to self evaluate and self critique my work. Things I thought I was doing or at least thought I was doing right, I was able to look at with a different perspective using this book. It has been a great help and encouragement to me! Thanks to all involved!

I really love the breakdown of fundamentals given by Devin Korwin. His explanations are very concise, and his art examples are very easy to comprehend. The other sections with different artists redoing old work and showing step-by-step process explanations & wip shots of art principles they have learned in the interim and improved upon is a refreshing view of seeing how these amazing artists breaking down old deficiencies and learning from mistakes. A lot of the explanations are very easy to follow and vigorously documented which helps a lot.
I seriously love this book and will probably buy the other "Fundamentals" series to complete my collection.
