Personal Review: The Fantasy Illustrators Technique Book
(Quarto Book) by Gary A. Lippincott
This is one of the better art books I have found up to date. It does give
some instruction on painting and drawing but I feel is meant more for an
advance student of fantasy art than a beginner. Some one with some art
experience will find it very helpful in many areas. It is definitely one of my
favorite additions to my own reference library.
