-
Psychedelic zeppelins floating over palaces atop impossible mountain crags, stormy seas crashing below--you're in the world of award-winning fantasy illustrator Tom Kidd. Now readers can create their own fantasy worlds in oil paint and watercolor with Kidd's step-by-step instructions, illustrated in glorious color on every page. The book gives detailed instructions for painting 13 different types of scenes, from enchanted forests to futuristic cities, and provides ideas to help artists stimulate their imaginations. Part 1 covers basics of supplies, illustrated with photos of the artist's real-life studio set up, and outlines sketching techniques for pencil and ink and Photoshop techniques for idea sketching. There is also material on ambient and refracted light and principles of color. Part 2 goes deeper into color theory, layering, and composition, as well as dragon anatomy and the evolution of a creature. Part 3 gives advice on thinking in three dimensions, with more step-by-step instructions for fantasy scenarios. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
