5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing look at digital painting, 19 April 2003
By glen southern (Biddulph, Staffordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
There are far too many books that try to do what Don Seegmiller has done in this book and to my way of thinking, they all failed. This book is a must have for any digital painter whether new to the craft or wizened veteran. Don takes the time to share both his technique and experience in a way that makes you feel that he is tutoring you one-to-one. The introdution tells us that Don has taught art in the US but to be honest that comes over loud and clear as you progress through the chapters.

Two things that make this work stand out are
1. Don uses the CD ROM to provided the reader with recorded quick time movies showing the creation of the images in each of the chapters in the book and a few other treats besides.
2. He even gives the Painter 7 user a set of his very own custom built brushes that he uses throughout the book. What more can a pupil ask!

To my mind, there is no better book on the market today that covers the subject of 2D digital character design in such detail. And its not just the 2D artist that can benefit as a much of the book deals with getting the correct colors and lighting for an image, very much a requirement for the budding 3D artist.

All in all, the best art book buy in town if you want to improve your digital painting skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best 'Painter' instruction book, 9 Oct 2008
I found Don Seegmillar's book was the very best way to learn the Painter program, if what you want to do is actually paint (not just fiddling about with photos - if you want to autopaint photos this book ain't for you). Easy to read and follow along. I would say it was the no.1 tutorial you can find in book form. If you already paint traditionally and want to start digital painting then this is an excellent place to start.
