Fantastic! Review by Hill

Absolutely LOVE this book- especially the attention to supporting WHY certain accents and shadings are done in the way that they are. Great tips and loads of inspiration! Definitely a handy book for developing artists!

Fantastic Review by Hillary

This book delivers EXACTLY what it claims- and more!The details and helpful hints are specific and...well HELPFUL! Flores did a great job in explaining WHY certain steps are important, and how they impact the overall picture.Also, this book teaches how accent different kinds of details and that I wouldn't have thought of- in terms of clothing and even architecture!Definitely a handy book that every developing artist should have.
