The Skillful Huntsman Felix Yoon, Khang Le, Mike Yamada

I suggest to start from https://www.amazon.co.uk/Skillful-Hun1554996&sr=8-1 The Skillful Huntsman, it shows work process from start to finish. Whilst awaiting my copy of The Skillful Huntsman, I thought I'd have a go at using silhouettes for character designs. Inspired by the art in the Skillful Huntsman, can't wait to see some of Felix Yoon's concept work come to life in Rise of the Guardians! So I sort of adapted sketches from The Skillful Huntsman to fill up space until I have researched this further. Here are some Marjani designs in just such a manner. Sooooo pretty, and contains concept art from all 3 games in a much larger format that the previous Art of Dead Space book I picked up. Khang Le, Mike Yamada, and Felix Yoon were guided by their instructor, Scott Robertson, to create original design solutions for the environments, characters, props, and vehicles found within The Skillful Huntsman. Using the right size brushes, on the right size canvas really helps these silhouettes. [1] ONCE upon a time there was a lad named Jacob Boehm, who was a practical huntsman. Also recently arrived The Skillful Huntsman! Actually the black silhouettes are part of the creative process of a lot of concept artists. I had seen it used a dozen times but finally it clicked when I read The Skillful Huntsman. To make the idea more exciting I played around with the idea of the hunting methods of The Kazakhs of Mongolia. To see how it's used, pick up the book "The Skillful Huntsman.
