Seasoned DC Comics illustrator Rollins (The Making of a Graphic Novel) shares his process for creating sf characters and scenes. Since the genre is rather conceptual and dependent on narrative, the 32 exercises in this guide each begin with a "case study" scenario, establishing a specific date, location, and unique situation as context. Besides completed illustrations, the book includes film and television stills, diagramed sketches, and Photoshop screenshots for inspiration and illumination. Rollins takes readers through the steps of brainstorming, pencil sketches, inking, and finally the digital addition of color. VERDICT There is considerable practical application of sf illustration in movies, TV, comic books, and video games, and many enjoy it for its own sake, thus this book is likely to be popular with fans of the genre. © Copyright 2016.
