Endorsements

“Inked over, erased or straight to the waste paper basket, the pencil sketch seldom gets to be in the limelight. This book series finally lifts the pencil sketch out of obscurity and lets it have a share of the glory it deserves”
Mattias Adolfsson
Illustrator

“Sketching from the Imagination: Fantasy gives us a rare peek into the creative process of some of the industry’s top talents. It offers the opportunity to see how they tackle difficult problems, where they find their inspiration and about their tools and techniques. An amazing resource as well as an amazing gallery of fantastic art”
Brom
Dark Fantasy Artist

“A good sketch is at the core of every great artwork, but it is also a complete art form by itself, which is sometimes even more fascinating than the final piece. This book is full of talent and great sketch art – a must-have for any art appreciator!”
Felideus
Illustrator and Storyteller

“As a storyteller, sketching is my favorite moment in the creation process: the moment when your fingers work almost without consciousness, giving access to what your mind has hidden deep inside. This book is a collection of these moments, which are full of life, promises and ideas”
Jean-Baptiste Monge
Character Designer/Concept Artist

“Sketching from the Imagination: Fantasy contains the work of a wonderful selection of artists and their personal insights on how sketchbooks can greatly improve the generation of ideas, narrative, anatomy, poses, costume, character – and everything else that goes into a piece of finished art”
Tom Bagshaw
Artist/Illustrator

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.

Absolutely amazing!

Decided to buy this along with other two books in the series, and I am so happy to have this one too! This is not just the usual fantasy/elf/goblins/dragons book, but it has a lot of other mesmerizing styles and inspiring insights from many different artists. I definitely recommend it for this subject, it's very inspiring!
