Digital Painting Techniques: Volume 3 Paperback – 4 Oct. 2011

I'm slowly getting into my digital art work, as I use to enjoy doing allot of art back in my school and college days. But the ideas and potential for what you can do in the digital art world now is just amazing. If you want inspiration or any possible ideas for good concept pieces, then you need to buy this book. It's a massive book and full of fantastic designs from various artists, and this includes examples as well as tutorials. Buy it, you'll love it.

I'm really satisfied and happy with this purchase.I can't stay one day without reading a little of it.Thank you so much!

Another book, I would highly recommend for everybody who is interested in digital painting. Worth every cent. Love it! Give it a go.

Excellent value, very useful

Another really interesting collaboration.

The third Volume of this Digital Painting Series is just amazing. I think this book is my favourite one from the overall series! Like the previous Volumes, Digital Painting Techniques 3 is made of many different digital painting tutorials, organized in chapters, wrote by different authors; those authors are all professional illustrators and digital painters. Inside the book you can find also links to download digital contents like artists' brushes.I really like the cover, it features Siren by Min Yum. This is an artwork I really like, and I think this is the best cover of all the three volumes (even if the others are gorgeous too!), I totally fell in love with it at first sight.The theme of this Volume is different from the previous books: while Volumes 1 and 2 are about general themes of digital art, like Speed Painting, Environments and Custom Brushes, this one is more specific. About half of the chapters are about creatures, characters or monsters, great part of the tutorials are sci-fi or fantasy based. Tutorials are high quality, each step is explained by the author, along with colorful screenshots, images, sketches or brush tricks. It's interesting because, while the book still keep up the discontinuity of styles, that is a features and the strength of this series, at the same time we find two chapters, Concept Art for Games and The Five Ages of Steampunk that follow each one a unique projects, so a unique thread. I think we can consider these two chapters as two great tutorials, or better, two guides: a Guide to Concept Art for Games, and a Guide to Steampunk Style.As I said for the other books of this series, you should have at least drawing basis to follow these tutorials; however, this is a book for all level digital artist, from beginners to advanced. I truly suggest it if you are interested in these arguments, it's worth every single penny/euros/dollars of its price and I think it's a must-have for every digital artist, like the other books of the series.
