This book doesn't get 5/5 for a few reasons. While this book is helpful, its certainly not a book for beginners. This is more a book of 100 tips for people who have a clear idea of what they want to draw, but can't just get it perfect. While there are some very useful sketches showing each of the stages of a drawing, the book suffers from a lack of them (possibly 4-8 in total). The notes in the book are nice, as are the small tip boxes dropped in every now and again, though it feels they could be a little deeper in parts. One of the best features of this book is the art. Drawings are fully coloured and are of a very high quality, with smaller boxes displaying close-up inspections of each picture and the technique used. There is also a large number of pictures with span a whole page, or half a page of A4. These are very useful for picking up technique to be used in your own drawings.
Overall whilst not being amazingly helpful to a beginner, someone who has got the basics of drawing and shading/colouring would benefit a lot more. A good buy, but not as basic as I expected.

Format:Paperback
I loved this book. This is an exeptional book for anyone looking to improve there art work through valuable insights of a top professional. The book will not teach you how to draw but thats not its intention. Technique and ways to develop your ideas and your imagination are key. The illustrations / paintings in the book are all of a very high standard, inspirational. I've kept this one handy since I bought it and Im sure I'll have it around for a long time to come.

A good guide to fantasy art which doesn't over-complicate the skill. Shows wonderful examples of the authors own work for 'Wizards of the Coast' graphics. In addition he explains how he started the piece and the steps he took to build into what it finally became.
A great insight for art students or hobby artists.
