Book Reviews of Painter IX Creativity: Digital Artists Handbook
Book Review: I really enjoyed this book
Summary: 5 Stars
Jeremy, it is nice to be the first to step up and say you did a wonderful job on your new "Painter Creativity." I would heartily recommend it to anyone picking up their first couple of top-drawer books on how it's done. As a professional who works in photo and paint applications, I sometimes find myself getting too comfortable in my own methodology. It's great fun to see how you approach Painter, filling in blanks I'd never thought much about. And I've always thought the way you write inspires others to stretch themselves and let go. (I always tell people that no one dies from artistic attempts, therefore there's really nothing to fear.)
I particularly liked how you included the photograph of you painting Sigifredo freehand. And the very cool visual glossary is something I'd like to have in poster form on my wall... heck, I think I'll make one and do just that.
This book is a very useful book for those picking up Painter for the first time, as well as those who are old hands. For novice and professional users there is quite a lot of useful information that will allow many users to express themselves in ways they'd never thought possible.
P.S. The brushes on my CD worked fine, no workarounds whatsoever. I'm on a macintosh, pulled and dragged them over to the brushes folder and started the application. No problems, no workarounds. The other review is really quite harsh, focusing on a CD and not saying a word about the real content, which is found between the front and back covers and before the CD... most unfortunate.
