VICENTE SEGRELLES ART HANDBOOK

---

What you always wanted to know on drawing and painting explained by a professional illustrator and comic-book author.

Segrelles now puts at your disposal all the resources of an experienced artist. You will be able to learn his beginnings as sketcher, the way he works and even his tricks to face the pictorial techniques. The explanations are incomparably illustrated: the work contains more than 250 illustrations by Segrelles, many of them never published before. A great deal of book covers, vignettes, canvases, drawings, didactic schemes and a complete six-page story accompany the texts.

A superb work both in its presentation as in its contents.
