[(Digital Art Masters: v. 5)] [ By (author) 3dtotal Team ] [July, 2010] Paperback – 4 July 2010

Perfect!

I really loved this book. I think is a great inspiration source for graphic artist in general (3d or 2d alike). High print quality.Also it contains the logic process on creating an image, with small tutorials, which I thought is really cool as you can see the creative process and the intermediary images.Now, regarding the "tutorial" part, I have to say that it describes in general the technique used, but it's not a step by step tutorial. If you are a digital artist with over-average skill I think you can easily follow, but u need the right tools and knowledge.

I really love this series of books and own most of them. This book contains a brilliant selection of images and the print quality is very good. While there are other more lavish digital art books I find this has excellent combination of image choice, print quality and price. The artist comments are a nice touch too. I thought this written content would ditract from the viewing experience but it actually adds to it being generally very interesting and especially usefull to anyone that likes to attempt such art. You really cant go wrong with this book or others in the series.

Great book for finding inspiration, showing breakdowns of how images were created. Contains some really great images, ranging from fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary, modern and stylised cartoons. A must for any CGI enthusiast.

The media could not be loaded. Digital Art Masters: Volume 5 is another great compilation of top quality art and insightful tutorials. If you have earlier volumes, you pretty much expected that. I've a wonderful time going through this thick 288-page book.This time, art is categorised into 5 sections: Sci-Fi, Scene, Fantasy, Character and Cartoon. As usual, you see work created from all sorts of medium (2D & 3D), across a variety of art genre gravitating towards concept art. There are 3D modeling on different subjects, digital and background painting and many more.The featured illustrations and galleries are beautiful and detailed. I can't begin to imagine the amount of time spent to create some of these inspiring illustrations, especially so when some of them are just personal projects.There's plenty to learn from as there are to see. The artists share their techniques as they go through their process of creating the featured illustrations. The book is filled with all sorts of tips, ranging from matte painting, scene composition to even portrait drawing.You can also visit the publisher's website for some free video tutorials.Volume 5 is a great addition. Highly recommended to 3D modelers, digital painting artists and art lovers.(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

As always this book delivers what it says. This is a book for artist at all levels.it shows not only good pictures but also includes artist's comment on their work making it much more interesting.actually all the digital art masters series are amazing.

gran colección de libros de arte digital, totalmente recomendadopapel de gran calidad y obras que en algunos caso son extraordinarias

Continua l' ottima raccolta di lavori in CG fatta da vari artisti.Per gli appassionati di CG, la serie di volumi di Digital Art Master,è da avere sicuramente nella propria collezione di libri.

I've been able to hold each volume (since Vol.2) in my hands and can honestly say 3D Total makes a better volume every year.Each one holds a unique approach to showcase masterpieces from artists all over the world which to say the least is a must have for every digital artist or graphic lover, not only by the instruction you get from the creators of such pieces (let me clarify these are not detailed how-to instructions) but by the process they follow or the inspiration they crave from many different aspects from work or life.What I particularly liked about this Volume is the section division by Characters, Sci Fi, etc. These is a better arrangement overall and I think it will be a standard for future Volumes. Also as a suggestion, I would love to have a Q&A section to be able to share what many enthusiasts, amateurs and professionals alike might wonder, ask or share with each other.Overall a great buy!

Le livre, comme les tomes précédents une pure merveille. Que de bonheur... A voir et à revoir sans modération.

If you are learning digital painting, all of 3DTotal's books are great!! I invested in a Wacom Tablet and some software, but was frustrated in where to begin... these tutorials are great, advice is awesome, plus they provide other resources to help you with your digital art. It's just been a great learning experience!!
