Subscribers to ImagineFX magazine may already be familiar with the work of acclaimed fantasy artist Kevin Crossley, who has contributed the mag on past occasions. In the current issue (issue 91) he makes an appearance once again, this time in the form of a book review for 101 Top Tips for Professional Fantasy Painters. The reviewer nicely points out that this is a tile which demonstrates ‘techniques and concepts that can breathe life into your art’ and gives it a 5 Brush rating too.

The book is the outcome of almost 40 years worth of fantasy art study and practice, readers will gain insight into every stage of a painting’s completion – from the importance of traditional drawing and sketching techniques to finding inspiration in every day objects and creating textures.
