Summary: Very good book, lot of techniques and demonstrations
Review: I am 13 years old and have always liked drawing. About 2 years ago i ditched crayola markers and got some good ones, Prismacolor, chartpak, Pantone....the list goes on and on. Anyway, i came across this book at a used book store at the airport in Wisconsin. When i first looked at it, i thought the title was dumb. Then, when i looked into it i saw that it was filled with color. The latest book i had bought was Rendering with Markers, it was a older book and was pretty boring. This one was different though, i had to buy it. Now i have had it for 6 months and look at it about once a week. If you are starting out with markers or familar with then this is a great book for you.

Summary: not a bad book, but limited in scope
Review: If you're hoping for a detailled breakdown for accomplishing finished renderings, there are much better books on the market. The author recommends some good starting markers and sets some color recipes down, but he rarely works 'tight', so if you're looking for a step by step process leading to a tight comp (as most aspiring commercial artists) shop elsewhere. Even in the better rendering books (arch. rendering books), they rarely address problems of flesh tones and getting edgelights, so I give this book 3 stars just for being in color and trying to cover the material he did. I just wish he took some more time with his 'examples'. He's so loose, he's bad.
