“This book contains the essentials for discovering new methods for refreshing your ideas and techniques for sketching sci-fi. As an avid admirer of sketching, I find it beneficial for both beginners and more professional artists. After reading it, the only question that remains is, ‘What brush will I pick for my new sketches?’”

“Sketching is the most important stage of producing creative work. As an illustrator, it is where the fun part of the creative process begins. This book gives us a closer look at those ‘fun’ moments from various artists across the globe – a rare peek at their sketching process which sometimes tells more stories than the finished works”

Great Book for Sketching and to get new inpiration

I have bought this book a few weeks ago and I don't want to miss the inpiration I get and the learning effect it has to my drawings. You can watch the great drawings in this book and get great tips how to draw traditional and find a way while drawing to get new inspiration. You needn't read page after page. It invites you to read the pages your are most interrested at first. There are colored and black and white drawings.Itsa book, I think you take back to your hands and reading after years and it's fun again. Great book!!!
