REVIEW:
With Halloween fast approaching every one wants to know how to create the creates of Fearsome creatures of myth and Legend. But how exactly do you do that and where do you start?
Well wonder no more as Steve Ellis takes the time to show the novice artist tips and tricks to creating their holiday fiend as he tackles the subject from basics such as colour and shading through to placing as well as posturing for the best results everytime. Whilst this may not be the best book for those with no artistic talent with some hard work alongside some of the tools suggested within some of the results will truly be mind boggling leaving many wondering how you went about and created the piece that they’re viewing. With each creature featured (there’s Zombies, Vamps, Were’s to name a few), Steve takes the artist hand through each individual step so that you can see his words in action, which makes this a very comprehensive guide. Add to the mix a vibrancy of apparent movement alongside making sure that each medium is covered from paints, to pen and ink alongside covering basics such as creating the right biological structures to give it a sense of realism and you’ve got a great addition to any artists library. It is fun, its given me quite a lot of tips and above all the huge expanse of available features has made this something that I’ll utilise quite a lot for my own personal art projects.
