Review: Not the best in the series but very good all the same - I didn't know what to expect, I got three of these books together. This one, Sci fi and characters. Personally I preferred the characters book as it was arguably more fantasy than the art in this book. I found some of the sketching to be pushing the 'fantasy' tag a little bit. Never the less I can't deny the art and insight is an excellent quality and variety the books are rammed with ideas to get you thinking Review: Brilliant series - Wow! this book is so good, i purchased the previous one and was loving that, but this one just took the drawings so much further! I have managed to get inspiration from a lot in this book and have had some pretty awesome drawings come from it! can't wait for the new one to come out.
