I've bought several books by this publisher now, and will continue to do so - the production quality of the entire range is superb.
Firstly, the book does not just cover Fantasy art, but sci-fi, horror and other genre's, so bear that in mind. If you want a step by step, hand-holding guide to creating fantastic artwork, don't buy this - there are better guide on the market. This book is more generalistic in nature, and deals with the artistic aspects of fantasy art, including a short potted history, how to find inspiration, the nature of the genre etc.... Many top artists are interviewed, and each analyse a piece of their own work during all stages of it's production.
One of the most important features of the book, is the very fact that because it's not a technical book, more abstract subjects can be approached, such as how inspiration for artwork is found. This doesn't mean that there isn't any tips in the book - on the contrary, there are, but again, they are more generalised.
To sum up: if you want a step by step guide, look elsewhere. If you want to know how fantasy art is created from an artistic point of view, look no further

This is the 4th book of this type that I have purchased, and by far the best. Martin McKenna shows a superb eye when it comes to selecting what illustrations to include, so this book includes some of the most striking and inspirational works out there.
While the artists' words on working practice do not always include the most specific detail, they focus on the more important matter: how to develop a process that gets you from blank page to finished work. For real specifics, anyone who is intent on developing their skills further will buy a manual. This book is about developing ideas and admiring the standard which young british artists are setting. This is the best in it's field.

The book contains different techniques and contains nice images. the only remark can be that it maybe is a little old for digital art and computer tools are not that implemented.
