Product Description

Product Description

As the sophistication of computer-based drawing and painting programs has increased in recent years, so the popularity of fantasy art has grown and been taken up by a wider audience.Produced in association with brand-leading magazine "ImagineFX", this book instructs readers on a step-by-step basis how to produce top quality digital fantasy in a variety of styles from manga to gothic. With reference to a small number of creative painting programs (including Corel Draw, and Corel Painter) which are world standard and suitable for Macintosh and PC, the book explains in plain language, and with the help of step-by-step screen grabs, how to progress from basic 'pencil' roughs to first stage line art and ultimately finished colour art.Included are a series of 'Fantasy Master' profiles throughout the book from leading fantasy artists - Boris Vallejo, Alan Lee, Todd Lockwood, Jim Burns, Linda Begkvist, and many more. The book also targets specific aspects of art creation, including making your characters lifelike, creating scenes as diverse as manga and fairy woodlands, 3D imagery, speed painting, producing oil, watercolour and other effects. (20,000 words).It is a complete practical guide to creating digital fantasy art. It is produced in association with "ImaginFX", the world's leading fantasy magazine. The future titles include "Fantasy Art Landscapes" and "Fantasy Art Creatures".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great variety of tips and techniques well explained, 13 Feb 2009
By Parka (Singapore) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Length:: 0:29 Mins

Here's a great tutorial style book for those interested in digital painting. Fantasy Workshop is a compilation of tutorials that have been published in monthly ImagineFX issues. If you are already a regular subscriber, you'll see very similar tutorials in Fantasy Workshop.

The tutorials are split into three categories, namely Characters, Scenes & Stories and Manga. At the end is a short FXpose section, which like the magazine, features illustrations from individual artists.

The tutorials are presented in a step-by-step manner with plenty of screenshots and well explained captions. Each artist will talk about their workflow, tips, techniques and shortcuts to creating digital art. More specifically for example, they will talk about how they create realism through texture, and also why they created it that way.

Since the book is about mastering digital painting, you'll see tons of examples on how to recreate paint effects using software. By examples I mean they will show the digital tools used, menus, and settings. The software used are Painter and Photoshop but the art techniques are usually easily achievable in either software.

There are also a few pages where the artists answer fans' questions relating to creating art.

This is a recommended book for anyone into digital painting. There's enough variety featured for everyone to learn a new trick or two.

Here's the list of contents:
- Mind's Eye to Digital Canvas - Jehan Choo
- Modern Classical Painting - Marta Dahlig
- Paint Realistic Ears - Katerina Sokolova

5.0 out of 5 stars Tricks of the Trade, 16 Sep 2009
By Stevie H (Scotland) - See all my reviews
Indisensible for anyone interested in learning Digital Art. Lots of varied styles and techniques beautifully illustrated and explained, and covering different software - mostly photoshop, painter and artrage. Stunning amount of detail, and great advice for the beginnner - and the wide range of topics covered mean the more experienced should find something of value here too.
