very fine book for character design and drawing

Well-thought out, brilliantly written and engaging to any artist currently working in the industry or is working to break into it。 The walkthroughs are thorough and provide insightful food for thought on how to push one's style and skills。 The many tips and suggestions he gives can not only encourage one to try something new with their drawings, but to also think differently about drawing itself。 I highly recommend this book!

Well-rounded, covers a lot of material, easy to read through, clearly organized, and comes with tons of visual examples of his work to study。 He gives some great, concise walkthroughs of his process, fun exercises, and quick tips to work with, too。 Stephen's drawing style may not be to everyone's taste (although he does include a wide variety of visual styles in this volume), the lessons he provides are practical, well-informed, applicable to any sort of character design work, and fun。 He approa Well-rounded, covers a lot of material, easy to read through, clearly organized, and comes with tons of visual examples of his work to study。 He gives some great, concise walkthroughs of his process, fun exercises, and quick tips to work with, too。 Stephen's drawing style may not be to everyone's taste (although he does include a wide variety of visual styles in this volume), the lessons he provides are practical, well-informed, applicable to any sort of character design work, and fun。 He approaches writing from the perspective of a seasoned industry veteran who's spent many years in the trenches and loves to share his hard-earned knowledge, and it definitely shows。 A great addition to your art book collection, especially if you're striving to get into this particular line of work。 。。。more

My Character Design for 2D Animation recommended getting this book, and it actually came out towards the end of my class this semester。 I bought it off Amazon and my teacher was right。 This book is on point in developing animated, drawn characters。 I struggle with creating my own characters, with backstory, so this class kept me on my toes。 It was highly valuable to me。 I kind of wish I had the book at the beginning of the class, to be honest。 It's a bit on the pricy side at $28, but worth it。 I My Character Design for 2D Animation recommended getting this book, and it actually came out towards the end of my class this semester。 I bought it off Amazon and my teacher was right。 This book is on point in developing animated, drawn characters。 I struggle with creating my own characters, with backstory, so this class kept me on my toes。 It was highly valuable to me。 I kind of wish I had the book at the beginning of the class, to be honest。 It's a bit on the pricy side at $28, but worth it。 It's got plenty of visuals but also some written explanations。 This guy knows his stuff。I haven't read it page to page, but it was useful to me in working on my final project style guide。 I count it as read。 。。。more
