5.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of robots, sketches and traditional medium,
By
This review is from: Progressions: The Art of Jon Foster (Hardcover)
The robot on the cover is Crowbot, traditional medium oil on board. Jon Foster likes robots. In this 80-page art book, there are quite a few. Progressions is a portfolio book of illustrations, personal and commissioned work. Big name clients include Wizards of the Coast, LucasFilm, etc. For the full colour illustrations in the book, they are mainly traditional medium. Sometimes, Jon Foster does work on them digitally to repaint certain aspect, as mentioned in the very few captions that appear in the book. I like the lighting for the scenes he creates, very subtle with that occasional slight yellow tint. The concept sketches and digital paintings are all in black and white. This art book is very character design focused. Most of the illustrations are actually portraits or scenes with the focus on characters. Revolution: The Art of Jon Foster, the art book after this, packs more art. Quality of the hardcover binding for this book isn't really great. The pages might come off (as in my video) if the book is not taken care of. (More pictures are available on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

i couldn't resist,
By kristy (North Dartmouth, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Progressions: The Art of Jon Foster (Hardcover)
I saw this book in the bookstore, flipped through, and thought, "No, I'll just buy it online. $...is too much to spend." 5 minutes later I was at the counter doling out my hard earned cash. Unbelievable. Very well set up, and loaded with fantastic work. Buy it! You won't be sorry.

Fantastic book by a great artist,
By Todd Powelson (SLC, Ut.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Progressions: The Art of Jon Foster (Hardcover)
Every once in a while you run across an artist who makes you see things in a new way. Mr. Foster's book opened my eyes to new artistic possibilities and put a smile on my face :)His technique is fantastic and the subject matter is exciting!
