This inspirational and instructional publication reads like a "who's who" of the digital art community. It is amazing to see how far Poser has advanced over the years, and how creatively the artists have applied these advances. The results are stunning!
This book goes beyond the usual images and basic artist information. Inside this guide, we get intimate with each of the experts, sharing their biography, what influences them, their creative process, education, advice and detailed, step-by-step tutorials. Included are tips, tricks and insights that prompt artists to try different techniques.
For me, the quality of the paper creates a deliciously tangible manifestation of the artistic creations that would otherwise only exist within a digital reality. It's like having the art come to life in your hands. As I read through each of the artist's bios and statements and read about their techniques, I felt connected to the artists and very inspired by them and their work. Each one is so unique in the way they express themselves and they are all so good at what they do.
