A collection of paintings that has been published for a long time, I was attracted by the cover and noticed it. I wanted to talk about the meaning of the title of the book, but it turned out to be really just a verb XD

The author Kim Kyoung Hwan (pen name TAHRA) is a well-known illustrator in South Korea. You can see that many of his works are conceptual designs of game characters.

Although I picked second-hand books to collect, the hardcover books are kept in good condition. With a thickness of up to 256 pages, you can lie flat on the table and look smoothly.

This book can be regarded as the author's relatively early work, many of which are line drafts, repainted works before and after repainting, or conceptual drawings during the painting process.

In the follow-up, the second episode "Master of International Fantasy Illustrator: TAHRA ART 2".

Each piece of work is clearly marked with its famous name, year, creative tool, size (pixel), and a text introduction to the creative concept that takes up a lot of space, and it is bilingual in Chinese and English.

It’s quite interesting to read the author’s description of some very different attempts, such as putting clay on paper to scan in order to create the texture of the floor~

In addition to illustrations, the end of the book is a 22-page painting tutorial.

Official Introduction

The collection of classic illustrations by the winners of the Korea Game Design Competition will give you a glimpse of the master’s creative mentality and electrical painting techniques. There are different styles and diversity of delicate paintings, which are worthy of your reference and collection.

The first collection of TAHRA's works, which is popular in Korea and all over the world. The illustrations in the book range from daily life to bizarre fantasy, as well as works drawn from stories or notes that the artist sees, hears, and records. The book also contains many unpublished works and initial sketches. The styles of painting are diverse, but the purest touch and emotion of each painting are deeply retained. In addition to the portfolio, it also introduces more clearly how to draw from scratch. For those who aspire to become game character painters, this book provides a rare opportunity to learn from masters.
