5.0 out of 5 stars Another great volume of insight, July 17, 2010
This review is from: Digital Art Masters: Volume 5 (Paperback)
Length:: 1:30 Mins

Digital Art Masters: Volume 5 is another great compilation of top quality art and insightful tutorials. If you have earlier volumes, you pretty much expected that. I've a wonderful time going through this thick 288-page book.

This time, art is categorised into 5 sections: Sci-Fi, Scene, Fantasy, Character and Cartoon. As usual, you see work created from all sorts of medium (2D & 3D), across a variety of art genre gravitating towards concept art. There are 3D modeling on different subjects, digital and background painting and many more.

The featured illustrations and galleries are beautiful and detailed. I can't begin to imagine the amount of time spent to create some of these inspiring illustrations, especially so when some of them are just personal projects.

There's plenty to learn from as there are to see. The artists share their techniques as they go through their process of creating the featured illustrations. The book is filled with all sorts of tips, ranging from matte painting, scene composition to even portrait drawing.

You can also visit the publisher's website for some free video tutorials.

Volume 5 is a great addition. Highly recommended to 3D modelers, digital painting artists and art lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars DAM keeps getting better every year, December 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Digital Art Masters: Volume 5 (Paperback)
I've been able to hold each volume (since Vol.2) in my hands and can honestly say 3D Total makes a better volume every year.

Each one holds a unique approach to showcase masterpieces from artists all over the world which to say the least is a must have for every digital artist or graphic lover, not only by the instruction you get from the creators of such pieces (let me clarify these are not detailed how-to instructions) but by the process they follow or the inspiration they crave from many different aspects from work or life.

What I particularly liked about this Volume is the section division by Characters, Sci Fi, etc. These is a better arrangement overall and I think it will be a standard for future Volumes. Also as a suggestion, I would love to have a Q&A section to be able to share what many enthusiasts, amateurs and professionals alike might wonder, ask or share with each other.

Overall a great buy!
