Whilst this is not the first digital art book, it is first to treat the digital medium as one for the near beginner. After a thorough, but easily-followed, introduction to the basics - apps, tools, brushes, colours - you'll find a series of demonstrations that get you to work quickly.

There are as few dry exercises as possible and you'll find yourself learning positively - by results

Matthew's ability to understand the problems faced by a beginner or improver allows him to speak in terms that are easy to understand. There's no mystique here, just commonsense advice.

If you've been thinking of trying digital art but were afraid of the complications, this is the place to start.
