Feb 10 This introduction to fantasy art has the great benefit of simplicity on its side. Stuart Littlejohn has taken what can be a huge subject and distilled it into three very thoroughly illustrated demonstrations that will set you firmly on the right road if you're just starting out. If you need a little help with the practicalities of the medium, there's a useful introduction to materials, colour and composition at the beginning, but even more experienced artists will find that the real meat is in the demonstrations. * Artbookreview.net *
