Review: Wonderful book - A wonderful book with lots of tips and useful information. Some great examples from various talented artists, although not my style (it is quite cartoon-style), still lovely and helpful. As an artist myself, I believe it's always nice to see other artist's work and find some inspiration. Haven't looked through it in-depth yet, just flipped through it and it looks like it has a lot of tips on publishers, printing and character design. This is not a teaching tool which, for example, teach how to draw a character... It won't do that, it's rather a guide on the process of creating your own children's book. The book mainly aimed for those who draw for children ages 2-8 approximately, although I would imagine many people would still find it helpful and inspiring. Quality of print is fantastic, well worth the price, good amount of pages for that, though I do find the book is quite large and could have been made smaller with possibly more pages to make up for that. Otherwise, a lovely book to add to my collection.
Review: Brilliant - Lovely book. I love the overall feel of the book and the quality of the paper used to print it. Plus it has many great insights into how to illustrate a children's book.
