Reviews
This book quickly became my most important go-to book on the business and craft of illustration. There are an abundance of tips on generating ideas, improving skill sets, advice on standing out from the crowd to get work as a freelancer. The information and examples on composition, perspective, forms, and design are essential and amazing, and not to be found in my other books (and I have a lot!). I bought every book by him and am learning so much.I am a self taught artist, and every thing I have learned has been hard won. Books like this by Andrew Loomis and others have made the journey much easier.
