3.0 out of 5 stars This book under-performs., November 13, 2006

I love Frank Cho's work. He has a crisp style; his lines flex and curve perfectly. It's hard to think of anyone outside of Dave Stevens who shows as much grace. However...

I dinged it one star for not having any color plates. All of the pages are black and white. An uncensored version of the cover is on the interior flap at a greatly reduced size. Compare this to "The Fantastic Art of Frank Frazetta" nos. 1 - 5 which not only had color plates but also details/enlargements of the paintings. Same with the three Frank Kelly Freas books: many color plates. The cover painting is so good that I was enormously disappointed when I openned the book and found only black and white sketches and finished drawings.

I dinged it another star for having almost no text to accompany the drawings and the small amount of text was insipid and patronizing. Little fragments like "note the thickness at her ankles. But not too thick," and "nice long calves," and "nice full hips."

The sketches and drawings are all outstanding, but not worth collecting in a hardcover book. It will make a good softcover book.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about line art of curvaceous women, December 9, 2008

This review is from: Frank Cho Women: Selected Drawings & Illustrations (Paperback)

Length:: 0:11 Mins

The cover for the book might be misleading. It shows fine art painting but in fact Women is collection of black and white line art drawings and sketches on women. It's a paperback book with glossy paper.

Most of the women are illustrated in different fantasy world settings. Since Frank Cho (wiki) is the creator of Liberty Meadows, there are a few drawings on Brandy as well.

There are no captions so it's just art all the way.

For the price, it's quite worth it.

(More pictures are available on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Examples of Illustrations, June 21, 2006

This review is from: Frank Cho Women: Selected Drawings And Illustrations (Hardcover)

I haven't looked through Frank Cho's comic books enough to really say if I like them or not, but I have seen examples of his work here and there and decided a book focusing on anatomy would be useful to me. (since that is a weak point in my art) I was somewhat disappointed when I received the book to find out that it contained only black and white illustrations. The beautiful cover is the only color throughout the book as well as the only painting. The best part I found were the comparisons between original graphite drawings and more finalized inks of some illustrations, there just were not enough like that.

Basically, it's nice, but I'd like to see more color and more mediums.
