### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Gorgeous and Nightmarish
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2007*

The book consists of a collection of very high quality reproductions of James Jean's illustrations, and they are certainly beautiful works. The images are printed on thick stock, and the book is large enough that pages could be mounted in a picture frame comfortably (indeed, the book appears to have been designed with this in mind). A few larger works are printed on fold out pages which might not be so suitable for framing, but are a joy to look at nonetheless. The works are masterpieces of subtly (or not so subtly) disturbing imagery and texture.On the back of each illustration is a collection of one to three elements related to the process. Sometimes there are initial sketches, or even alternative sketches that weren't used. Sometimes there are initial roughs, uncolored pencil drawings and selected Photoshop layers. As an amateur artist, I find these initial sketches are almost more interesting than the finished works. My only complaint is that sometimes the choices of what to include are eclectic, and certain elements almost seem like teasing, for example a "shade and fill layer" offered up with no more explanation of how this related to the process of creating the finished picture.If the book was going to show this much of the process, I would have liked a little bit more text, perhaps, or more images showing how the pictures were put together. As it is, while the initial sketches are interesting in their own right, I almost wish some of them could have been traded for a few more completed artworks. The book almost seems too short.Although I appreciate the large format for the art, it also makes the book difficult to shelve, and I end up treating the book very carefully because of the spiral binding, which seems prone to damage to me.These negatives aside, it is still an incredibly beautiful book, well worth the (very inexpensive) price.

    Process Recess Portfolio Book review
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2007*

This is a great book because it really shows the artists process/technique, from rough pencil scketch to final pencil, to ink, to base color to final tonal illustration.  The artwork is beautiful.  This is definately a book that should be a part of every artists collection.

    One Of The Best Art Books Ever Printed!
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019*

This Art Book does live up to all of the 5 Star's it gets. It is 15" wide, unfolding to 30" for large format perfectly printed reproductions of James Jean's Art. There are many examples showing the first hand-done sketch up to the final fully rendered Art. One gets to see the process and each image is documented in detail: Size, media and even the exact paper stock. I love working on RIVES BFK and many of the original drawings that James Jean did are on that very paper! This book was published when James Jean was doing much hand drawn Art with some Photo Shop rendering for the finals, many of which are for clients. What a successful artist to bridge the commercial with the personal visionary! I have to 3rd in this series and because of this book's excellence, I just ordered the first one, as it is getting rare, as is this one, so I will have the full set of three. It is a treasure of Art Books!
