From thumbnail to finished piece, Joko shows the process of illustration in a very clear, precise, and wonderful way. This book is a favorite in my collection.

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.

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.

Joko's book is a great book to have in the collection. This book is for everyone! Professional, student, or art lover. As an artist myself I have learned so much from this book. In this book Joko shows his process from start to finish. Amazing perspective and value, this book is priceless!!!!

This book is amazing. It shows all the thumbnails and line drawings that he went through before finishing the piece in color. GREAT because it's not wordy, and just shows you everything visually instead of trying to describe how he approached. love it, it's a must buy for all joko fans out there!!

Wow. this book makes me what to get out my sketchbook. Joko's use of value is amazing.
