Frank Cho: Women: Selected Drawings & Illustrations Volume 1

The artwork of Cho will not disappoint anyone's sensual imagination. I'm not always a fan of his domestic females but is made up for by tough warrior women of a very ideal design anatomicaly. My favorite stuff in the book are fine art pencil and ball point renderings. In facthe I would prefer if Chocolate would release a book of just fine mediums. My only complaint is that hid bodies of work should be segregated instead of jumbled which leaves me with mixed expectations while page flipping.

I am immensely pleased by this product. Mr. Cho's illustrations are gorgeous and he lavishes attention on them. Particular favorites are some of his marvel pieces. The artist in my is particularly pleased by this raw sketches found throughout the book. His line work is nothing short of inspired. Its a shame (not really a complaint) that we only get to see his handsome handling of color on the cover of this book as it is black and white. My only complaint is that the cover is a little on the flimsy side for how heavy the paper stock of the pages are.Minor complaint aside, I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Illustration.

This collection of studies on the female figure, rendered in black and white, comprising primarily of pencil sketches and drawings, rendered in ink, constitutes a fine selection of work that reflects a deep understanding of female anatomy from award winning artist, Frank Cho, and represents some of his finest work.The volume also contains some sketches followed by the full fledged drawings in ink that attempts to demonstrate how the transition is made from rough sketches to some of the most delicately drawn and lovingly rendered graphic illustrations of the female figure ever produced.The only caveat is there is nothing in oils nor air brush. Nevertheless, highly recommended.

What can I say about this book? Plenty, Frank Cho is an Art GOD! A master at his fine details and pencils/inking. I wish I could somehow vampirishly suck away just a tenth of his talents to make myself a better artist, I can study how he drew his art. And go from there. Plus the man has a wicked sense of humor to add to this book of eye candy!

Nobody in current illustration is as anatomically acute as Cho. That's why I bought this. You will only learn to train your eye by looking at good work. There are others- Adam Hues, JS Campbell many more that either have the comic balloon curves or in Hues case bulky hulky figures. Cho can articulate muscular females without making them androgynous. This book is a prototype for other works in the same category he released. All are must haves for artists that draw women professionally.

Book arrived in great condition and very fast.

In this book you will see many of Frank Cho's clean line art and pencil illustrations. There is no color, only black and white and some pencil shading. But his style in illustrating women are phenominal. From cartoony to comic book and a few fine art illustrations here and there and alot of pin up art. He is a great example for other artist to aspire to when it comes to drawing women. For me this book is another great addition to my collection.

Great break down of Frank Cho’s art work. This was a great add to my collection. I look forward in seeing what else the artist produces.

Cho is a very well-known comic-book/graphic novel illustrator and this quite large (though slim) paperback book is the first volume of selected work by him.All the illustrations are black and white, mostly finished ink work supplemented by pencil drawings – often preparatory or alternative ideas for the final piece shown alongside. His style is comic-book/pin-up in approach but his excellent draughtsmanship is apparent in all his workThere's a nice (though brief) selection of life studies at the back of the book.There's no text, so virtually every page is devoted to drawings.A super book for anyone interested in illustration work of this kind – shame there`s no “Look inside” option.

As a big fan of comic books and of Art I was intrigued to get this collection of drawings, sketches and illustrations, Overall it was as I expected it to be as I am familiar with the comic book work of Frank Cho.The style and aesthetics are to my taste and my wife enjoyed the artistry and imagination as well.I would recommend this as a coffee table book, and have it stored with my other art and illustration books.I would highly recommend this book.

A great collection of black ink illustrations of the female figure, only the cover illustration is in colour. Frank Cho's style is instantly recognisable, curvy, beautiful women effortlessy drawn on every page and if you're reading this then you probably already know what to expect. There isn't any text in this book, it's purely illustrations but this doesn't seem to detract any value. It's a decent size at just over A4 with a glossy cover and runs at around 110 pages. Most of the illustrations are full page and as well as the finished inked pieces, there are some of the original pencil sketches included too which is a nice touch.If you're a fan of Cho's work you'll appreciate having some key pieces of his work all in one place, definitely worth a look.

I'd hoped for a little more background on some of the images. Perhaps a little on his approach & technique.If you like Frank Cho - the images are great for sure. I just found the collection of black & white only sketches & inks somehow lacking the impact I expected.Not unhappy I bought this - but not sure if I'll bother with the 2nd book.

As with volume 2, all of the drawings presented here are available either on Frank Cho's site or in the Liberty Meadows books. No color illustrations here, but if you don't have any other Frank Cho books, it's a nice collection to have.
