Features: Through this book, readers can not only learn how to draw cute anime girls and create realistic human body painting artworks but also master the essence of CG artwork creation.

In the new century, computer digital image (CG) art has entered a period of prosperity and development. It is currently trending in Japan, South Korea, and the United States. Computer human body painting and cartoon comics have gradually been introduced into China. Around us, a group of outstanding CG works and artists have begun to emerge. In the field of computer human body painting and cartoon comics, the combination of Photoshop and other software (such as Poser) has become an internationally popular artistic creation model. Practice has proven that this is the most effective model.
This book is meticulously written by professionals from Tsinghua University of Arts and Design, integrating the artwork resources of Chinese and Japanese authors. All selected works are internationally popular. Through step-by-step detailed explanations, the book introduces the full process of creating these CG artworks and their operational secrets, achieving a perfect combination of art and technology.
This book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on cartoon comic drawing, using three typical models currently popular in Japan and the West as examples to demonstrate how to draw more exquisite cartoon comics by combining Photoshop and a computer drawing tablet. The second part first introduces the basic knowledge of Poser5, then uses four different-style human body models as samples to explain how to combine Photoshop and Poser to showcase realistic human body painting art, perfectly blending computer drawing technology and innovative artistic concepts.
It is recommended that readers configure a digital drawing tablet for their computers while studying this book to complete the detailed parts of all the artworks in the book. We have also used the latest versions of Photoshop 7.0 and Poser5. These two heavyweight software versions provide stronger software support for cartoon comic and human body painting creation.
