5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful book of art and tutorials, September 29, 2010
This review is from: VENT, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
Length:: 0:59 Mins
VENT Volume 1 is the 10 year anniversary art book for UDON Entertainment. UDON's an art studio that have been around for a while now. You might know them for their Street Fighter comics and art. They have worked for for Capcom, Marvel, Hasbro, TV studios and many other big clients.
This 248-page paperback anthology that features the comics, illustrations and tutorials from the talented UDON artists.
The illustrations mainly character based, and beautiful, of course. It's very refreshing compared to their commercial work, as many are published for the first time. The art feels very different as there are lots of new characters, designs and stories. There are 28 artists featured so the variety is very varied.
About a third of the book is on tutorials detailing the creation process. That is a lot of tutorials and they are filled with step by step screens and commentary loaded with tips on digital and traditional drawing. It's all interesting to read and they are really useful for artists. You can learn how their achieve their manga-like colours, conceptualize designs, composite layouts, among many other art creation ideas.
This is a wonderful book of art and tutorials, recommended to fans and artists.
