Features: In 1921, the famous Czech painter and writer Karel ?apek coined the word "Robot" in his play "R.U.R." by slightly modifying the Czech word "Robota," which means enslaved labor. In today's era, robots are increasingly permeating our lives, yet people still believe they primarily exist in science fiction. This is also the unique and peculiar aspect of robots—they roam between semi-reality and semi-imagination. Although robots exist in real life, the word always immediately evokes images of future technology or some alchemical-like fantasy product. This book is a comprehensive reference book, serving as a source of inspiration for both beginners and experienced artists in exploring unique robot creation methods. It details the fundamentals of robot creation, providing readers with basic techniques and methods applicable to most art forms. Many artists have created countless robot works with their own ideas and methods, and the robots I draw are just a small part of them. Some artists paint in traditional ways, some use digital methods, and others, like me, combine both approaches. Everyone's tools and techniques differ, but no matter which one you choose, you can create a wide variety of robots. I hope this book inspires you, and it's perfectly fine to simply copy the content here.
