When I preordered this book, there really wasn't much to the description on , but being an admirer of Jae-Cheol Park's (Paperblue's) work and having a habit of collecting these books, I went ahead and ordered it. (Just about anything Scott Robertson recommends is immensely worthwhile). I am so glad I did!This is more than just a collection of artwork (which is what I was originally expecting). There is a TON of his work, for sure, and produced on excellent quality paper in large format with vivid color. The real beauty, though, is that this is really more of a collection of tutorials on how he produces his work.The first section of tutorials covers the creation of custom brushes (in Photoshop, but it should be applicable to most any application). The process is detailed, and does a great job getting you to a point where you can get useful results manipulating your brushes for specific purposes.After that is a series of 16 tutorials (9 cover vehicles/spacecraft and 7 cover landscape creation) which are quite detailed. Each of these starts with a basic pen sketch and then he goes through the steps which take that to the final production result, including what brushes he uses in many cases. How he adds little details which make all the difference. What tools he's using for each additive effect. Each of the main tutorials covers roughly 8-10 pages with lots of focus on the specific steps.This is great stuff, folks.There are 6 videos that you can access through a QR reader app on your phone or tablet (it takes you to a simple webpage with the videos embedded). The videos are time-lapse demos and have no sound. These video demos are beautiful. I do wish there was an overdubbed discussion of what's going on, but it's useful nonetheless.
