Yuvraj: have read about 30 pages so far, very good book.
explains the fundaments and provides with techniques of composition.
will update soon after i finish the book.
there are lot of visuals and by just looking at the, you will get to know what the author is trying to say, however there are explainations in text.

the tone is very colloquial as if he is in frint of you and talking to know which is very comfortable to read and understand the concepts.

Alessio: Libro in inglese, disegni contenuti spettacolari. Si riesce a comprendere facilmente, in ogni caso qualche vocabolo lo si può sempre cercare su internet. Molto utile, sintetico e con tanti esempi. L'ideale se si vuol iniziare a comprendere i principi della composizione, un buon inizio!
Consigliato!

Julie Knowles: So far this book has been everything I have been wanting, in an instructional guide, for creating Graphic Novels. I also have the books Writing and Illustrating the Graphic Novel and Foundations in Comic Book Art.
About half way through Writting and Illustrating and just started Foundations.
This book I find to be better because Mr. Mateu-Mestre not only is giving you the foundational principles for creating a great Graphic Novel. But also introduces so many great new ideas and ways of changing our thinking and perceptions in regard to the visual arts.
When I am learning something I don't just want to learn the how to, but also the why's. The reasonings, the concepts, the underlining purposes. This way I can then adapt, alter and change these to suit my own needs.
Like I said, I'm not even finished the book and I think it's Great! I also have his perspective books and ordered his Graphic Novel so that I can actually study his style and methods in action.
I am looking to become a Great Graphic Novelist and to do that I might as well learn from the best. From Masters.
Going through all my purchases on this subject, this would have been the book I wish I had bought...

Trinidad La Coa: It took about a month for this book to arrive, but it was well worth the wait. When I flipped through the pages, I was somewhat impressed with the artwork, but not very. A second flip-through (double-take) proved that the book was mostly made up of inking and not a whole lot of text. I began to worry if I'd been duped and wasted my money. What could I possibly learn from a bunch of black and white images with a paragraph or two thrown in? It reminded me of some the art books my university lists as required reading that cost an arm and really don't deliver. I could've gotten more artistic education out of a graphic novel.

However, I finally found the time to sit and actually read it. It is an amazing book. Upon attentive study I realized the inkings weren't somewhat impressive they were incredible. It seems that the author, Mateu--Mestre, has a very minimalist approach to both art and instruction; yet, both his art and his lessons are immensely informative. The lessons are short and oh-so sweet. I learned new things just reading the first few pages because Mateu-Mestre isn't just trying to convey an academic sense of storytelling, but the very spirit of it. And I can tell...
