Why read it?

1 author picked The Fantasy Illustrator's Technique Book as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is full of beautiful illustrations and great advice on creating your own fantastic scenes.  It goes into great detail on how to visualize your piece. While there is a full chapter specifically dedicated to drawing, there is also a section that looks at other mediums such as ink and watercolor and what techniques you can incorporate into your art using these materials. It is full of wonderful tips and advice, and is also a pleasure just to flip through.

From Sandra's list on art instruction for fantasy artists.
