Art of Rachel and Terry Dodson

The Art of Rachel and Terry Dodson
features many highlights from this exceptional team's 25-year career and
shows how their art was created, including almost forty of their
favorite comic-book covers. The pair also share insights into how eight
personal pieces were executed, and they break down the making of a
two-page Red One sequential comic story.

The Dodsons reveal the stages of their creative process--including
Terry's pencils, Rachel's inks and Terry's colors for each piece.
Supporting commentary offers further insight, and two dozen covers are
supplemented by Terry's initial sketches. The Dodsons also offer details
about the tools they use and other tips for the aspiring artist. This
is a unique way to see the steps that went into pieces the pair
completed over the years for major publishers, as well as creator-owned
and personal projects.

One highlight is a section about the artwork on the cover of this book,
broken down in great detail in twenty-seven- stages that show its
creation from concept to finish. All of the art in this collection was
scanned or photographed from the originals, and there also are photos of
the Dodsons at work in their studio. An introduction offers insight
into how the pair became professionals and spans their full career to
date. This book is a must for fans of Terry and Rachel Dodson as well as
those interested in the creative process.
