Review: Really pleased with this as a reference resource - This is a FAT book with a lot of different art styles and pictures from each artist, printed in good quality with a massive range of artists and character poses. As someone learning to simplify and stylise, I really love it. The only thing that could make it potentially less useful is that the writing isn’t especially instructive about the drawing itself, more each artist’s take on developing the characters and selecting a design conceptually for the respective projects. That said, I didn’t expect this book to teach me to draw, and the number of pictures I can copy to practice techniques and reference for my own designs is still both practical and educational. I’m also really pleased with the diverse body types and races shown, and the way women are represented. Very few anatomically improbable women doing nothing but looking nice with nothing on, and the few naked-ish women seem to be mermaids or goddesses and pretty empowered. I know a lot of art books get given to kids and the way women are sexualised isn’t often handled this well- I wouldn’t hesitate gifting this to any age. Will follow up on this publisher in future!
Review: I love this book - I use this book when I’m feeling uninspired and it always helps. The pictures are great quality and I love the descriptions of the artists as well, and the advice. The selection artists is very diverse so it is full of different art styles and mediums. I will definitely be buying more in the series.

*by S***H on 7 March 2018*

As someone who collects artbooks, this one is a real gem. It's hard to find the expressive sketches of artists in their artbooks, so finding a whole collection from such a wide variety of artists was great. Quality of the book itself is high and while those who are looking for tutorial types books might not get the sort of in-depth info they'd need, there's a nice amount of text giving a little info on the imagery.
