Artist Q&A

Workshops by the world's best artists, compiled into one book.

In Drawing the Human Body, we kindly explain through workshops and detailed figure drawings everything from drawing the structures and muscles essential for figure drawing to drawing the shape and movement of each part of the human body and how to draw the wrinkles in the clothes the figure is wearing.


In drawing animals , we will teach you the secrets of effectively expressing the muscles and body parts of real animals by comparing them to the human body.
In the world of digital art, creating realistic imaginary creatures is especially important, and to do so, mastering the structure and movement of animals is paramount.


In digital techniques , we apply the anatomical knowledge learned previously to the digital world.
Justin Gerrard shows how to combine human and animal anatomy when drawing portraits of beasts, while Nicole Cardiff shows how to add a hand-crafted feel to a Photoshop drawing to make it more realistic.
You will also receive step-by-step guidance and detailed advice on the actual work process, along with Anne Pogota's friendly guidance on skin expression and coloring.


Artist Q&A gives you a glimpse into the know-how of world-class artists who are at the top of their field.
It's full of friendly answers from artists who address common challenges many readers experience while working and offer advice on their concerns.


You can follow along directly with the artist's workshop materials provided in the book.
One of the great things about this book is that it includes videos demonstrating the masters' sketching process, high-resolution images that illustrate the step-by-step process, workshop files, and brushes that you can download for free so you can learn the techniques yourself.

Whether you're a professional artist, amateur, or student striving to create vibrant, perfect paintings, regardless of your field, you can develop your core skills, learn innovative digital techniques, and be inspired and stimulated.
