### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a lovely and inspirational book
*by Z***Z on April 26, 2026*

I’m not a big artist, but I love to learn about different concepts in art. It’s also refreshing to see in this age of AI art slop :,> This was book is very digestible for the curious ones like myself but also people genuinely wanting to learn. I wouldn’t say it’s big on the tutorial aspect, its strengths when I read it were the explanations of design concepts and the intention behind choices artists make and whatnot. Also loved that they play a tree for every book sold, kudos to the publisher and artists and authors that made this happen.
