After getting the first volume of the series, I’ve decided to buy the second volume and I can say it totally worth any single euro/penny/dollar. Like the previous volume, the book is a collection of Digital Painting Tutorials, organized in chapters with different themes; each tutorial is wrote by a different author. They are all professional digital artists and each one has his/her own style. This leads to a discontinuity of the tutorials style in the book, which is a strong feature of this series: since there’s no a unique way of painting something, it is great to have different point of view. The working process of the tutorial is step-by-step with colorful images and final thoughts of the author. There are also bonus free content download like brushes!
Digital Painting Techniques 2 is great like Volume 1, if not better. You still need the basis of drawing and painting because it will not teach you how to old a pencil (or a brush) nor how to start using digital art software. It will explain you amazing techniques to achieve different effects in your painting, it introduces you to the vehicles and characters design and deepen many of their aspects under different lights. It expands your knowing of environments painting introducing the use of a 3D base to achieve complex structures and perspectives. And it deepen some of the themes of Volume 1 like Fantasy or Custom Brushes with new, stimulating tutorials and tips. If I could come back in time, I would buy it again.
I truly suggest you this book if you are a digital painter, of whatever level because it can be useful both for beginners, amateur or pro, for the different styles inside.

I’m slowly getting into my digital art work, as I use to enjoy doing allot of art back in my school and college days. But the ideas and potential for what you can do in the digital art world now is just amazing. If you want inspiration or any possible ideas for good concept pieces, then you need to buy this book. It’s a massive book and full of fantastic designs from various artists, and this includes examples as well as tutorials. Buy it, you’ll love it.

“Digital Painting Techniques: 2 ” è il secondo volume della famosa serie sulle tecniche di pitture digitale edita dalla compagnia di art tutoring 3d total , il testo è costituito da una raccolta davvero variegata di tutorial creati da professionisti nel settore dell’illustrazione digitale provenienti da tutto il mondo che si pongono l’obiettivo di spiegare le più innovative tecniche di illustrazione digitale. Ogni tutorial è a se stante e cerca di sviluppare un determinato argomento sia con esempi passo passo che con argomentazioni più generiche, come dicevo le informazioni contenute sono davvero tante e spiegate in un modo davvero semplice e comprensibile, il testo e le varie sezioni sono piene di immagini ad alta definizione che servo da esempio per i concetti trattati ma anche per ispirare il lettore nella creazione dei propri lavori . Questo volume a differenza degli altri prende in analisi sopratutto la creazione di personaggi caricaturali e scene Sci-fi, diverse anche le tecniche di “Matte Painting” illustrate utilizzando Photoshop, Corel Painter, e i più famosi e utilizzati programmi di digital painting . Questo testo come gli altri volumi della serie sarà un’ottima aggiunta nella libreria di qualsiasi appassionato di pittura digitale anche chi ha un livello di conoscenza avanzato troverà sicuramente spunti e suggerimenti utili per migliorare le proprie immagini.

Wie schon Volume 1 ist auch der zweite Band vollgepackt mit sehr gut erklärten Workshops zu digitalen Zeichentechniken und Workflow. Es gibt Kapitel zum Charakter- und Fahrzeug-Design, Speed-Painting und natürlich Science-Fiction- und Fantasy-Szenen. Besonders klasse finde ich wie im ersten Band die Techniken zum kreieren von Custom-Brushes. In Volume 2 gibt es Workshops zum Zusammenbauen von Pinseln für: Stoffe, Stein und Felstexturen, Bäumen und Blättern und Menschenmengen. Sehr inspirierend und von einer sehr hohen Qualität. Neu ist auch ein Kapitel zum Malen auf Grundlage eines 3d Modells z.B. durch Google SketchUp. Wie der Erste Band: klare Empfehlung.

Es mi tercer libro de esta serie y son grandísimos manuales para el diseño gráfico y la pintura digital,por ponerle un pero podían ser en español, pero aún en inglés son fáciles de comprender y seguir los procesos,altamente recomendable para los que se dedican al diseño gráfico o para el que quiere aprender.
