Art Fundamentals 2nd edition

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.

Great book, also a great guide to sharpen fundamental skills. Definitely recommend it.

Each chapter shows in great detail how easy it is to learn art, what is missing is the passion, the desire to learn and practice more, there are many ways to develop in art.

Excellent!

Instead just buy this book!
It is sectioned in "color" "light" "composition" "anatomy" and after you have read it, you will never need any other artbook again! Okay maybe for anatomy and faces, although that part is very detailed and well explained.

In the book you will first learn about the subject and then there are paintings where it's shown, how to use the knowledge and how it is applied on those pictures! Which is VERY HELPFUL and I have never seen that done in any other artbooks!

Anyway, definetly a recomendation!

As someone who struggled quite a lot in art before to finally accept that I needed to know the fundamentals to be good at drawing, this book saved my career.It is well explained, and with training on the side, is a really wonderful way to understand the core of drawing and painting !I recommand this book to everyone I know who wants to learn the fundamentals all the time.(In general, I recommand highly every book on 3DTotal, this site is one of the best thing I encounter in my art journey)The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because, as english isn't my mother tong, some part needed quite an amount of translation because of the advanced vocabulary - but appart from that it's really great!
