Advance Your Art Dreams
How can you make your images more successful, gain confidence as an artist and boost your art reputation?
By getting these valuable art lessons in Visual Communication, Design, Lighting, Composition and more.
Did you miss art school? Are your dreams of becoming a successful artist still unfulfilled? Do you need basic art lessons or a quick refresher on art principles?
If your images fail to impress, don't worry about personally "having what it takes". Don't blame yourself. Chances are you simply never had an opportunity to seriously learn and apply the basic principles of art.
Yes, the success of your images depends to a great extent on your Visual Communication skills. This is true whether you're trying to communicate ideas (as in advertising art), emotion or spirit (as in fine art) - or all three. It's also true whether you're using computer graphics, a camera or your bare hands.
As I'm sure you realize, you're not the first person learning to make art. There are already well understood and powerful art principles and art methods from those who have explored before you. You can be learning those a few minutes from now, with my well-received ebook (all '5 star' top ratings on Renderosity.com). You should act to overcome the problems that keep your images from exciting your viewers!
Please consider carefully this opportunity to improve the art skills you've already learned or to add an 'Art Head Start' to your new art education.
For $19.95 you can:
-
Learn basic Visual Communication, Visual Grammar, art principles and more -
Create stronger images
-
Advance your art reputation
-
Become a more confident artist
-
Have more creative power and more fun
What you may not like
No product is perfect. My book has limitations you should know about.
There is nothing included about:
- Animation
-
How to develop characters, facial expressions, etc.
-
3D modeling (there is information on UV mapping and texturing of models)
-
It's a beginner to intermediate book, so more advanced practices aren't covered
Also:
-
As an ebook, you must read it from the computer screen. Many people dislike doing this.
-
To protect my ebook from piracy, I've had to make it non-printable.
See the quality for yourself...

EXCELLENT! I don't know why this is called a tutorial. It's a big book, like you'd see in an actual college art class. It teaches you quite a bit about how to make your images more appealing to others and yourself.

Thanks so much for taking the time to create the tutorials and then sharing them with us.
I don't have an 'art background' so your ebook was/is a great way to jumpstart my knowledge...
THANK YOU!

Helping you learn
As a former fine art college instructor, I wrote the 150 pages of Art Head Start with your learning needs in mind. Over 180 of my carefully crafted instructional computer graphics make the concepts clear.
You won't find another book which takes my well-organized and thoughtful approach to learning Visual Communication and art skills. I've searched both online and through the public library networks - and found nothing like it.

My Proposition
I have a proposition for you.
Lately I've been studying marketing and marketer's jagontalk. They talk a lot about a “ Unique Value Proposition”.
They mean a valuable solution to some problem, which can't be found elsewhere. Perhaps you have a problem because you didn't receive art training, or you need more art learning materials or want to brush up on your art education?
Here's my solution:
I want to show you the art principles, processes and 'rules-of-thumb' through which images communicate better visually. This practical understanding is vital for success in computer graphics, as well as traditional media. I want you to understand the basics of light and color, design, composition, human visual perception and how they can all work together to improve your images. In short, I want you to have the same kind of basic art information you get in the first year or two of a good art college.
To guide you visually through these concepts, I've enjoyed crafting more than 180 special instructional illustrations.
As a former university level fine art instructor, a long-time fine art photographer and a student of digital art, I've made a life-long study of light, color, form, Visual Grammar, human visual perception and a lot more.
Along the way, I've discovered that everyone is naturally creative and that anyone can make art, if they are willing to work hard and enjoy the adventure of exploring the visual world and their own unique nature.
I love making art, teaching it and writing about it. People tell me I'm a great teacher and an excellent writer; certainly there's nothing I enjoy more or feel more natural doing.
Today's personal computer digital art tools offer you inexpensive creative power such as past artists could never imagine. With these tools, an understanding of Visual Communication, a spirit of adventure and a willingness to connect with and explore your own unique nature, you can learn to make powerful and unique images. Images that move people — images that communicate.
And you can join the growing community of digital artists online, to share your learning, show your work, get advice and critique the work of others — while having big fun in the process!
I believe that computer art is a major advance in the art history, similar to the introduction of photography over a century ago. Why not join this growing movement and make your own a contribution?
Why not get started right now, by purchasing Art Head Start?
With my no questions asked, 100% money-back guarantee, all you can lose is a little download time. There really is no risk to you. And my $19.95 price is lower than many books that have a lot less info.
Afterwards, let me know how you're doing, if I can be of help and where I can enjoy seeing your work.

All I can say is THANK YOU so very much.
I got the tutorial this morning and I have already started reading it. It is superbly written and so detailed.
I have always been clueless about what adjustments to make to achieve the scenes I wish to. My analytical mind wanted an explanation of these processes. Software manuals just do not explain any of the processes in depth.
I am so glad you took the time to write your tutorial for beginners (or stupid long time users). I wish I would have had this tutorial when I first started. I have nothing but praise for you!
Many kudos to you for a wonderful work,
— Sharon Wilke
Whatever your tools, you must use excellent Visual Grammar. It's what makes art works work.
Just as studying a written language helps you write better, this training in the language of vision helps you make images which communicate more powerfully.
A successful artist must rise above just learning their tools, as challenging as that may be. Employers and art audiences alike want creativity - artists with a unique personal vision. They don't want just software, camera or paint brush operators. Understanding visual grammar is your starting point to the discovery of your own best methods in the service of your unique personal vision.
So Art Head Start begins your training with a solid base of visual grammar. In this way you build a foundation strong enough to support your soaring imagination.
Gain a deep understanding of light and color
Next, you learn to make more meaningful, realistic, readable and dramatic images, by understanding how light and color work in the world. Light is your medium, so Art Head Start covers it broadly and deeply.

Hi
I've just been watching some of the video tutorials (ed: these are our free Vue 3D tutorials available elsewhere on this site).
I'm a total beginner in working with Vue (and 3d apps in general) and I've found it difficult to find really good tutorials that beginners can follow.
Your tutorials are great! They are so easy to follow. I've learnt so much that would have probably taken me weeks (if not months) to learn on my own.
I'm so glad I came across them - thank you so much for making them available on the net.
— Evangeline
Buy now. Save yourself frustration.
Why waste hours struggling, only to find that your images still aren't working.
Art Head Start shows you just how images work and how to make yours work better.
My low price
I've been chided by ebook experts who say I must charge more for this amount of high quality information - and certainly not less than $50.
My price is still $19.95. But marketing costs keep rising. Best to buy now - there's only one direction the price can go from here.
