Digital painting is a field of illustration that has many applications. From concept artist to matte painting to character designers to pure story illustrations. Digital Painting techniques VOL. 4 is once again a great selection of over-the-shoulder-views with some exceptional artists who are true masters in their field.Value
Wether you are looking to brush up your digital techniques for book illustration or looking for fast ways to create a rapid series of concept robots. There is something for every field of artist in this book.
But apart from having a selection of fields and appliciation of how to work or improve your skills by looking at how the featured artist tackles a specific project, the book features georgeous, stunning but above all, very inspriring art for you to enjoy just by simply gazing at it!

This is another great book of professional digital art tips that are useful to all skill levels. A range of artists cover different approaches to creating great 2d digital art. Although it's mainly fantastical and science fiction themed, the practical approaches are relevant whatever the subject matter may be. Lots to try out in your own time and some very inspirational stuff.Value

First of the 4 volumes that makes me try all of the tutorials and gives me valuable tips. Worth the money! (Posted on 24/10/2012)Value - Awesome Review by Kenjji
-
This book is a dense landscape that promises a great deal of exploration and study. My book is already filled with post-its tagging specific techniques I want to try. I also cherish the Pin-up tutorial that came with it - as an artist I can learn so much from just watching another artist do it so well. (Posted on 16/10/2012)Value - Great overview of current processes Review by Bradley

The art work is unquestionably top level and the tutorials are great although not quite as in depth as I might like, this is made up by a great variety of styles and artists - well worth buying for the library! (Posted on 06/10/2012)Value - Amazing book! Review by Daniel

-
This is a great book! So many tips from so many great artists that I love like Serge Birault. Gave me a lot of inspiration.Value
I recommend this book to all artists. You won't regret it. (Posted on 21/09/2012) - Unlike other digital art books which came before it Review by Stuart
-
The reason I say it's not like other Digital Art books, even vols 1-3 is that it delves deeper and picks out different sections within the genres, rather than doing "Sci-Fi", "Fantasy" etc. The first books are truly spectacular and covered those areas really well, so with this one I felt I was getting a deeper insight and progressing forward, rather than just seeing more of the same types of (albeit beautiful) art. I was a little surprised that Serge Birault had such a large number of tutorials, despite the different pin-up settings. I don't deny that he's very good at what he does, just a little variation would have been nice. The specific areas of study does not prevent solid theory coming through in the process and that is still very much appreciated. My recommendation - Buy it. The huge gallery of droolworthy images are worth the money in themselves. (Posted on 20/09/2012)Value - A good source of art styles Review by keith
-
This is a terrific series of books. It gives you a great insight into the methods and techniques of extremely talented artists and if you hit that creative brick wall there should be something in this book to give the process a kickstart. This will probably be a constant source of reference like the others in the series.Value
The book arrived well protected by the packaging. (Posted on 20/09/2012) - Inspirational Review by Smitty

I recieved the book a couple of days ago, and I haven't put it down yet. If you own the first 3 books, you know how good this is; if you dont, where have you been?!? 30 quid is nothing compared to the value of information held within. Get it now, and be a better artist today! (Posted on 20/09/2012)Value - Inspiring and high quality work Review by Albert

I received the book this morning and it's a beauty. Very well printed and full of high quality artwork. Great to watch over the shoulders of such talented artists and quickly pick up the pace in ones own workflow with countless production proven tips. Great asset to my library.

The book contains so many tips, ideas and techniques for art lovers, whether they be digital artists or just admirers. Apart from seeing beautiful images from the great artists who appear within the pages, you can also raise your own artwork. I cannot recommend highly enough. Get it, you won't regret it.
