Awesome for a start
This whole AVA book series, along with Teaching Illustration: Course Offerings and Class Projects from the Leading Graduate and Undergraduate Programs by Marshall Arisman and The Education of an Illustrator by Marshall Arisman, make for the perfect independently learning course outside of and Education Institution for a fraction of the cost to get started. One might be able to supplement the norms of education, providing one joins some of the societies and groups, as well as attend some of the conferences and museums activities. Works their backside off developing a reputation, portfolio, and countless contacts through networking. But this seems like it would need to be done in an over flooded educational system and job market anyway. Aside from that this would be beneficial to the life long animation student or artist in the sense that it will provide an awakening or rejuvenated refreshment on different ways to approach and create it. Each book provides an excellent example of project ideas to start, choose, or revise. They also have professional working examples, industry insights, and reference pictures or inspiration to boost things along. This helps rather than just dry reading.

What a Find!
What a find! This book has the content of an academic textbook but maintains the reader's interest throughout with interesting examples and mini-briefs/exercises. After reading this book I felt really encouraged and motivated with a positive understanding of this fascinating aspect of illustration. I've found this is a great book to return to again and again for examples and tips.

Depth Sacrificed for Coverage
The media could not be loaded. This book lacks the depth as a result for covering almost everything related to print and multimedia illustrations.The chapters teach the what instead of the how. It's like a glossary for the anyone who knows nothing about illustration and wants to learn more.If you have a specific interest in any specialized field of illustration, you can give this book a miss.4-star if you're a budding illustrator.(More pictures are available on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)
