Fans of 3DTotal's CG training books have long been asking for one focusing on old-school graphite. Well, now that call has been answered.
The artists explain how and when to use different sketching materials; share top tips; show you how to draw everything from hands to an alien slave; and set practical exercises. There are also master projects that show how it all gets put together – how to progress from early concepts, through poses, designs and costume elements, to a completed scene.
Despite the title, novices might find much of this too challenging. Yet artists ranging from students right up to advanced level should find much of value here, both in terms of refreshing your core art skills and raising your fantasy concept art to the next level.
