Process is the thing.,

This review is from: The Thousandth Thumbnail (Hardcover)
Joko's book is a masterful example of process. Joko takes the reader though the steps to find that one perfect image. From the squiggly line thumbnails, through color comps, all the way to the final image. An inspiring work and a must have in any collection.

A Master's Class in Composition,
This review is from: The Thousandth Thumbnail (Hardcover)
Joko Budiono is a master of composition, and he breaks down the process into easy to understand steps with hundreds of examples.This book is filled to overflowing with great ideas and great drawings. Budiono's understanding of perspective, form, and value pattern are evident in each thumbnail. He shows everything from atmospheric perspective to 3-point and 5-point (!) perspective in this book! This is a book of thumbnails. The drawings are rough, as they should be, to teach the beginning artist, and to remind the seasoned pro, how to create good compositions and to use all the basic art skills to great effect. This book gets the highest recommendation and should be on your shelf next to the other essential how to art books.
