Oil Painting Masterclass
This detailed, user-friendly oil painting workbook is a companion to Patrick's Sci-fi & Fantasy Oil Painting Techniques and features previously unpublished artworks. Patrick leads us into his studio once again to explore further the art of layers, blending, and glazing with oil paints, while explaining step-by-step how these techniques can also be applied in digital art. With his ever-evolving use of technique, Patrick explores methods for painting various textures--from fabric and fur to gold and flesh--and demonstrates ways to work solvent-free. The sheer scale and breadth of Patrick's experience, and the wealth of invaluable information he shares, means that no artist, art lover, or student should be without this volume on their bookshelves.
Sketchbook
The sketching stage is integral to any piece of art -- it forms the foundations that everything else balances on. Sketches can often provide interesting insights into the processes and thinking behind the finished piece as well as showing off technique and skill. An artist's sketchbook is sacred and personal -- often thought of like a diary -- filled with uncensored thoughts, emotions and unique flourishes that are special to them. The freewheeling excitement in sketches -- where artists don't hold back, don't over-think, don't censor -- is hard to beat. 'Sketchbook' is about captured moments bursting with creativity, straight from the minds of the finest illustrators around the world. Whether made by pencil or stylus, sketches may be loose and generous or precise and economic, but all reveal something about the pure fun of creation.
Manga Art: Easel-Does-It
Easel Does It: Manga Art takes a subject with which Western audiences may not be too familiar and explains, in lucid and easy to follow text, and logical step-by-step diagrams, how to draw in this exciting and innovative style. An introduction explains the comparatively recent origins of manga in Japanese culture, and its current impact on artists and animators in the West. A section then follows with precise instructions on the various materials required, and the range of techniques the manga artist will need to perfect, such as sketching the saucer-shaped eyes, small nose and mouth, and androgynous body; and building up layers of color to create areas of light and shade, and adding detail, with colored markers. The remainder of the book is devoted to ten individual projects, each one focusing on easily-recognizable manga characters. The projects start off with instruction on drawing basic figures such as a young girl and boy, progress through characters in combat, and then turn to the creatures, monsters, or robots which inhabit typical manga landscapes. The final projects look at perhaps the most popular use of manga characters in comic strips, and also posters.
