“I love how this book breaks down the process, not as a cooking recipe which most tutorials do (which in my opinion never works for newcomers to the illustration field). Instead it covers drawing and understanding volumes, emphasizing the importance of a well-designed sketch and preliminary drawings, and how pre-production is key.”
