Book Review by Rio
The Good: Tutorials are very easy to follow going in a step-by-step manner from original pencil drawing to fully-colored finished image. All the instructions are in color which allows for easier visual than black and white. There were surprisingly a good amount of other handy tips you can use for other purposes such as the tracing down technique for those without a lightbox.
The Bad: This is basically one big ad for COPIC markers and airbrush plus there are some provocative poses in here which some may find unsuitable for younger readers.
Overall: I absolutely loved this book even though it makes you want to get the COPIC marker and airbrush (which cost a lot of $$$). You could apply their techniques with other similar products that are more affordable though – and then when you have enough money, you can get the COPIC products. ;)
