Ottimo regalo
Regalato ad un amico, ne è stato molto soddisfatto. Il libro descrive la tecnica di disegno principalmente per fumetti ma può essere integrato dei video su youtube dell'autore. Il libro è in inglese.

This gave me a lot of new insight and helped organize my process
The book is broken up into five stages of the design process. This is a design book more than a how to draw the book. However, there a lot of tutorials in Stage 2, so you will learn how to draw as well. Through the design process, you learn how to focus on portions of your entire project through these stages, so you do not get overwhelmed, and it's how the process works in a studio setting if you're interested in that kind of work. I don't want to give too much away, but here's what you learn in each stage: Stage 1 - you learn to research and develop your character before you start designing him/her. The book poses a lot of great questions that will bring more life to the character(s) you're designing. You also get a few pages on the different styles used in comics and animation. I didn't know what these styles were called before, so that was nice. Stage 2 - This is the stage where you design your character and there are some tutorials to help with character anatomy. Mostly human anatomy. There is no animal anatomy in this book. You'll also get a blurp on character personalities and archetypes. Stage 3 - You learn to polish the character design. Stage 4 - You learn to properly present your characters for yourself or a client, such as turnarounds and poses. Stage 5 - There are various characters that Jazza takes you through the design process and we see how each process works with actual characters. Overall, I like the simplicity of the book. The pages were easy to read through. I got through it in a day. I'm studying through it again, but the simplicity allows for anyone to jump right in and get started. Even during the discovery stage, I used a few of the questions to shape out a character I'm working on and I was able to design and create him in a day. That time frame will vary of course, but the questions helped spark a lot of ideas. This book is appropriate for all ages. I'm in my 30s, and I plan to buy one for my 13-year-old nephew and my 17-year-old godson. It's easy for anyone to understand and a great addition to your library. Update: I showed my older brother the book and I will be getting it for him on his birthday. I wanted to leave this to the end so you wouldn't think my review was skewed. I've been a fan of Jazza's content online for almost four years, and that does not sway my opinion of this book. One thing I hate is when people do videos to get you to pay for their content, but you end up getting the same old stuff. So I looked at this book with a critical and skeptical eye because of that reason. I am happy to say that I've gained new knowledge here; very helpful knowledge. Very few books are written about character design. There's only one other good one that I know of. This book is the culmination of a lot of growth from this artist, and he knocked it out of the park.

Insightful and inspiring.
You know if it has the name "Jazza" on it, you're getting the best kind of tutorials available. Jazza has been solely responsible for my transition back into art after an almost 10 year break (work and life got in the way) but now I draw on a daily basis thanks to his YouTube channel, art book and the advice he provides. This book is a reflection of his talent as an artist, his natural teaching ability and his magical way to inspire everyone to follow their creative passion. The illustrations, tutorials, layout and overall depth of the book are perfect for anyone who has a love for character design and is unsure how to go about advancing or getting past the inevitable artists block. It's worth every penny and should have a place in every artists arsenal. Check out his YouTube channel Draw With Jazza for more amazing content. Happy drawing!
