    Supassing all expectations
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2009*

My reaction to moving through this book was a little unexpected.Usually when I go through a good art book the artist that I am is a little discouraged, my own progress being lacking when compared to my mentors and some of my peers. However, my reaction to this book was a bout of chills and an exhuberant desire to draw like mad. One might conclude that I was underwhelmed, disappointed- a sense that I'm "much better than this loser". Instead, I was impressed in ways that have a hard time meeting any valued description.Iain McCaig does not make it look simple.He makes it look deep, fascinating and utterly approachable. He's an example of what being excited about one's work should look like.I have to recommend this book to artists, particularly those struggling to find a reason to put pencil to good paper (any paper to take a mark is good paper). This is not your run-of-the-mill "art book". It's a celebration of the act of creation in which every mark the artist makes is potentially a portal to a world you want to visit, whether for good or for ill. The creature images run from whimsical in nature to terrible if ever met. The people are heroic, horrific and all points in between. Examples of sketches run throughout the book but they are eleborate, evocative hints when they are run up against full blown painted productions of characters and the worlds where they live.I see a little Claire Wendling here and the recent work of Mathieu Lauffray there and this is all good. It's not that McCaig is copying anyone or vice versa. It's that they (and others not named) have such an obvious, shared passion for their work that it is an inspiration to both stragglers and jaded professionals in the field (or, at least it should have that effect).I can only hope there will some day be another book.My last comment is to see this man's production work for the upcoming film adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "A Princess of Mars", leaves me anxious. Can, or will the film look this good?  And his depiction of the actor to (possibly?) play John Carter is more than a little inspiring.

    Iain McCaig is amazing, and this book does a good job showing you his genius in action
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2016*

This man is a genius, a true rare gem of an illustrative storyteller.It's not a teaching you how to draw book, nor is it just a portfolio showcase of his life's work, its... something else. It's more raw and rare, and you get to peek into his world, you get to plug into his imagination and see things the way he creates.There are a lot pencil sketches, prisma marker roughs and some rough digital art pieces.Here are the things that made me rate it at 4 stars instead of 5 stars:- I don't like the overall graphic design of the book, it's lacking a solid visual coherence and continuity.- The art work is mostly rough concept sketches, not many final pieces...- ...and it does not include many of his earlier works such as the Final Fantasy game book ones, those amazing pen and ink illustrations I absolutely adore.Otherwise, Iain McCaig's Shadowline is fantastic book that really let's you into his mysterious and fantastic inner creative worlds.

    awesome artwork, interesting presentation
  

*by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2013*

i love the artwork in this book. McCaig is one of my biggest inspirations and his stuff is beautifully laid out in this volume with quantity.I say the book is interesting because McCaig didn't just write a straight biography and procedure here. True to his storytelling roots, he created a world to explain his ways and ideas and then presented it through the report of a fictional character that he created to interview himself...He also has a very awkward photo of himself in the front. It's all rather strange, but it was so interesting and original that I had to buy a copy for myself to read his whole "story."the book also comes with fun little "lessons" in the back with exercises to practice drawing, neatly tucked in envelopes. It makes the package quite interactive.the page stock is great quality and so is the print, but my biggest gripe is the binding doesn't feel like it will hold and i'm too afraid to open the pages all the way. which is a shame because sometimes you just want to lay the book open to enjoy the larger images.
