Review: Do not be put off by the cover, this is an excellent book. Review: Inspiration pur – vor allem für Fortgeschrittene - Ein beeindruckendes Buch voller Wissen, Erfahrung und vor allem: fantastischer Illustrationen. James Gurney zeigt nicht nur Techniken, sondern auch Denkprozesse und Herangehensweisen, um Dinge zu malen, die es in der Realität nicht gibt – aber trotzdem glaubwürdig wirken. Das Buch richtet sich eher an fortgeschrittene Zeichner und Maler, die bereits ein solides Fundament mitbringen. Für Einsteiger kann es etwas überwältigend sein – aber alleine die Bilder und Skizzen sind schon eine große Inspiration. Eine deutschsprachige Version wär dann auch schön gewesen. ## Features - Andrews mcmeel publishing - Andrews McMeel Publishing ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #71,253 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #42 in Science Fiction & Fantasy Art #58 in Arts & Photography Study & Teaching #213 in Painting | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,067 Reviews | ## Images ![Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What Doesn't Exist - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/9102z+QtLrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do not be put off by the cover, this is an excellent book. *by L***R on 5 April 2019* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiration pur – vor allem für Fortgeschrittene *by R***B on 22 July 2025* Ein beeindruckendes Buch voller Wissen, Erfahrung und vor allem: fantastischer Illustrationen.
