Frank Cho: Women: Selected Drawings & Illustrations Volume 1 Paperback – 26 Dec. 2006

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.

well know artist and cartoonist Frank Cho is on top form here with a collection of his work, mostly line art, featuring some of his loveliest ladies. Few at work today produce such good illustrations with such economy of line.

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.

I have this in hardback, but the softback is nice and easy for reference, so I am glad to have it, a great book if you love good art and sexy women

Wonderful artist
