REVIEW:
Having worked for Marvel and DC there’s probably very few modern artists who are more adept at the subject matter of the book than Tom Flemming. What perhaps makes this so superb is that Tom doesn’t just tackle the basics such as shapes but covers everything from clothing to makeup, facial construction through to hair.
Within this offering is material gained through experience that explains the differing aspects not just by stating the facts but putting the information across almost as if you were in the same room as the artist backing up each point with concise and beautifully created artwork.
This title was a real joy to read and will be one that’s well thumbed each time I want to revisit points brought up within. Hopefully allowing me to create not just acceptable art but pieces I’ll be proud to have on my wall.

I've always wanted to draw. I took years of art classes and can barely draw a stick figure to show for it.
But, I'm always intrigued by the logic and the how of art.
