The humble sketch is the foundation of great art, where thoughts and
concepts first come to life as an image--but rarely are sketches
celebrated like they deserve to be for their power to explore, inspire,
and entertain. In Sketching from the Imagination: Sci-fi, a selection
of fifty talented traditional and digital artists, ranging from industry
legends to talented up-and-comers, have been chosen to share their
sketches and reveal the ideas, inspirations, and techniques behind their
creative processes.
Continuing the high-quality format of 3dtotal Publishing's previous
successes, Sketching from the Imagination: An Insight into Creative
Drawing and Sketching from the Imagination: Fantasy, this new title
is dedicated to fantasy's sibling genre, sci-fi, in all its forms. From
doodles of robots and aliens to concept designs for spaceships and
speculative life-forms, including rendered drawings of invented worlds,
Sketching from the Imagination: Sci-fi presents a handpicked
collection of the best sketches and drawings by sci-fi artists from
across the globe--each with their own unique style and approach to the
genre.
Each artist presents an impressive showcase of images from their
sketchbooks, accompanied by their own enlightening commentary, and page
upon page of useful tips, techniques, creative insights, and invaluable
advice for getting your ideas out of your brain and onto the page.
Sketching from the Imagination: Sci-fi is not only a must-have
resource for any concept designer's shelf, but a stunning compilation of
