Fusion heaven
The first thing that struck me about this book was the beautiful edition - the illustrations really set the tone for the eclectic recipes they accompany. The recipes themselves obviously draw on a wide and varied background in cooking (and travel?)- bringing together ingredients and techniques from various European, Asian and American styles of cooking. I loved the Goat Cheese Napoleons, the ...

An Amazing Book
There are few books in my life that I can truthfully say came at the right time. Hi-Fi Color For Comics: Digital Techniques for Professional Results is that book for me.

A Dream for beginning artists and fans
I have been a fan of Stephanie's work as a fellow artist. I like her watercolor technique and use of color in her artwork. I purchased the book, not to learn how to create art, but to better understand Stephanie's process as an artist. Upon reviewing the book, I was very impressed with the presentation of the material and Stephanie's instructional style. It was very clear, and extremely ...

I sneered at first but...
I'll admit, I saw the book (not kit) new at a major chain and jumped on Amazon for a better deal to get it used. I made a mistake and ordered the kit rather than the book. When I opened it up and saw synthetic golden nylon brushes, little tubes of paint, and dinky little book, drawing pad and a dragon shaped eraser I was sorely disappointed at my own error. I paint photo realism in human oil ...

Best Perspective Book for Comic Artists on the Market
This is my first Amazon book review, but this product demands it! Background: I am a comic illustrator and graphic artist with an educational background in architecture. I know my comics and I know my perspective. Yet, in execution, I find that without frequent practice, it's more difficult to capture proper hand-drawn perspectives than I'd like to admit. One of the key disconnects in my ...

Jim Pavelec (aka Iced tea guy) rocks.
I'm not much for the entire fantasy genre and neither do I have the imagination for such macabre concepts. With that being said, let me continue and make you understand why I am writing a review, and a positive one at that! Jim Pavelec is an amazing artist. I've read instructional art guides before and I never really got much out of them. Out of this one, I received way more than I ...
