Sketching from the Imagination: Characters

Lots of artists, lots of styles. The way the info is presented is nice too.

The variations behind the backstories behind the artists and their inspiration was somewhat helpful in my own ventures too.

Awesome

The most wonderful thing about these books (I also absolutely recommend all the rest from 'Sketching from Imagination' series) is a peek into how other artists think and make decisions, how they grow and get their skills evolve. Notes on design and storytelling processes are priceless!

I'd say this book is amazing, but I had to wait more than 5 weeks for it to arrive, so that's the why I don't rate it with 5 stars, the book itself is pretty useful tho.._______3dtotal - Thank you for your purchase, apologies for delivery time.
