{PRETITLE} Sketching from the Imagination: An Insight into Creative Drawing {POSTTITLE}

I don't normally submit reviews but I felt that this book was a little vague in the description. First off I love 3DTotal and I have all their other books. So when I saw that they were coming out with this book I was excited to finally see a book that would help me with drawing from my imagination. That is fundamentally the problem I have with this book, it is not an instruction book so much as a collection of drawings and some brief insight into how the artists came up with them. I would have much preferred this as an instruction book, which is what I originally thought this was when I bought it and hence the 4 star rating. That being said this is a beautiful book. It is packed full of beautiful drawings that just make you want to pick up a pencil and draw so from an inspiration point of view this is fantastic. If you are buying a book merely for inspiration then you can't go wrong with this and as I said if I had not been looking for an instruction book then this would definitely have gotten 5 stars.

Sketching from the Imagination is a wonderful 320-page paperback collection of sketches from 50 artists. It's always a delight to look through other people sketches, especially the good ones, and there are plenty to see in this thick volume.

The sketches compiled are all drawn from imagination. There are scenes of fantasy, character and creature designs, some location art, sometimes whimsical drawings, loose sketches, detailed sketches, and other amazing line drawings. Majority I would say are still character and creature art. Most of the stuff in the book are good enough as concept art, actually in a sense they all are.

I like checking out the different styles and techniques. There are the cartoony stuff, superhero comics style, amazing pencil and pen hatching, shading, use of black, drawing on toned paper and more. Some you can see are done quickly and loose. Some are very elaborate with detailed designs and shading.

The artists are featured alphabetically. Each has around 6 pages of coverage with a brief commentary on why they sketch and their inspiration. It's not really an instructional book, more for sparks of inspiration. All the sketches also come with brief captions.

I collect a lot of sketchbooks, and I really enjoyed looking through this one.

It's an inspiring book for those who like art, and of course sketchbooks, and probably will get you inspired to start sketching.

If you like this sketchbook, check out some of the other sketchbooks mentioned in my comment section below.
