Fantasy painting has a long tradition.It went through a stylistic revolution in the 1980s with the widespread adoption of airbrush as a medium of choice. Now, with the emergence of various computer modeling and rendering applications, fantasy painting is going through another revolution. Digital tools and techniques have made it easier for artists to realize their visions and the images they now create are more vivid, more realistic, and more compelling.
A must-have book for anyone working in the area of fantasy art and for anyone who admires the work of fantasy illustrators. Digital Fantasy Painting Workshop tackles the genre’s three main categories-fantasy; science-fiction; and horror-and employs detailed step-by-step walkthroughs to show exactly how the images are produced. Featuring work from some of the world’s leading fantasy artists, the book also explores the “tradigital†movement of mixing traditional and digital skills.
