Guweiz: The Art of Gu Zheng Wei

Awesome and beautiful artwork product

This book is everything I’ve ever wanted in an an art book! Not only will you get plenty of art but you also get background story and process for each. The artist also brings a perfect amount of personality in the writing and it makes the book feel very personal and charming. He talks about how he gets his ideas, his inspirations as well as hardships which I really appreciate. Highly recommend this art book to any artist wanting to get some inspiration.

Only reason why I am writing a review is because this book cover glows in the dark.

It’s nice to have the art book of an artist you look up to. Their work has always been something I look forward to when opening social media. It’s cool being able to read and see the thought process that went into the pieces made.

Beautiful hardback art book with insightful stories about Gu Zheng Wei’s journey as an artist. I have seen many of these creations online, but there’s a different feel to seeing them in print. As an artist, I really enjoy reading about his workflow and process. Every artist works differently, but there is always something to learn from others to help discover a new technique or perspective or to further hone one that is known.For those who would like an idea of the book’s layout:It starts with the introduction and 27 pages of his journey as an artist.An urban style gallery is presented from 36-51, his routine 52-64, and worldly 70-94.A fantasy gallery from 96-117, 3 project dissections from 118-147, and ends with a thank you.I have no regrets on this purchase.

If you like the artist, you'll like the book, simple as that. Has some insightful information throughout it from how they started as an artist, their drawing process, inspirations, various tips, things like that. About what you'd expect in a book like this. Overall a very nice, high quality book.I do have one small complaint. A lot of Guweiz's works tend to be pretty dark, and the printing in this book is also on the darker side. It can be pretty difficult to see details in some of the artwork which is a shame. Granted, not a whole lot you can do about that I guess.

The book is absolutely beautiful, all of Guweiz’s art in this book is phenomenal. The texture of the pages is lovely, it’s a nice satin texture and I love the fact that the book is hardcover. It lays flat which is extremely convenient and it makes flipping through the pages stress free since I don’t have to worry about cracking the spine.

It was a gift for my son, He really wanted it. I love the art and the illustrations.Off course my son Love and appreciatte it.

el libro llego a tiempo y en excelentes condiciones!!

The media could not be loaded.  O artbook é claro, maravilhoso. Guweiz é sem dúvidas meu artista digital preferido, as artes são fascinantes. Pra quem tem curiosidade sobre o trabalho do artista é uma ótima opção pra conhecer melhor sobre (inclusive, em uma página ele fala até mesmo as infos do pc que usa pra ilustrar, o lugar onde desenha, etc), além de ter ótimas dicas pra quem faz ilustração digital.Então não tem o que dizer do livro porque é perfeito, e mesmo em inglês é fácil de entender.Meu medo de ter feito o pedido aqui foram as avaliações dizendo que estava danificado, e realmente veio com algumas manchas e arranhões na capa. Fora isso, tudo intacto e com ótima qualidade.A capa tem uma textura macia que facilita manchar, mas isso não justifica os arranhões.A embalagem é de plástico bolha, veio um pouco rasgada.O tamanho é um pouco maior do que pensei, e as letras da capa brilham no escuro, muito legal.Enfim, 1000/10 pro Guweiz e o conteúdo do artbook. Mas, em questões de cuidado e manuseio do produto, frustrante saber que vários livros dele foram danificados assim.

Rare to see an artist own their rocky start and shortcomings in art, and Guweiz absolutely owns his. It's encouraging and refreshing. Guweiz is constructive in his self analysis, which many artists may find helpful in learning how to be critical but fair towards their own work. Aside from that, the artbook is filled with gorgeous illustrations.I see people complaining about the artbook being too dark, but to me it isn't.

Beautiful work, love how he handles light!

Guweiz ist mein großes Vorbild und es ist so ein wunderschönes Buch mit so guten selbst geschriebenen Kontent drinnen. Bilder mit Erklärungen wir er dran ging und seine ganze Zeichenkarierre von vor 6-7 Jahren bis heute. Das Buch ist allgemein sehr schön gedruckt. Es kam mit einpaar seltsamen Fingerabdrücken drauf die ich aber abwischen konnte ohne das Buch zu beschädigen.Ich liebe dieses Buch es ist sehr schön.
