This month ImagineFX is all about action – bringing your art to life through the art of dynamic poses and dramatic scenes, kicking off with Warren Louw’s workshop that accompanies his stunning cover.
Fantasy illustrator Nick Harris gets to the point with his vampire-slaying scene using Sketchbook Pro, and Emmy Award-winning artist Tom Nelson reveals his action-distilling storyboarding techniques.
You can also learn how Tyler Stout puts together his striking movie posters, follow Scott Altmann through his dynamic action scene using both digital and traditional media, and then have a long look at the career of legend Michael Whelan and the portfolio of hip-hop-to-sci-fi artist Joel Dos Reis Viegas.
We’ve also got Lord of the Rings illustrator John Howe’s sketchbook inside, and a load of DVD loveliness, including the second part of Charles Bernard’s video, an El Coro video sample, 246 brushes and Painter 11 and Photoshop CS3 trials.
