Book Review: The Art of Sam Yang

Sam Yang is an artist based in Toronto, Canada, with large social media following. At the time of this review, his Instagram page has 2.2 million followers and his Youtube channel has 1.75 million subscribers.

The Art of Sam Yang is a 216-page large format hardcover published by 3DTotal Publishing. This is the artbook that features Sam Yang's personal artworks, coloured illustrations, sketches, stories of how he got into art, and there are some quick tips on his techniques.

The artworks are beautiful. If you know follow Sam Yang's art, you already know what to expect. There are plenty of character designs and most are female characters. I love the backgrounds and environment he creates for the characters too.

There are around 20 pages talking about his techniques. These aren't really step by step tutorials though. These tips are just meant to give you some insight as to how he works. If you want to learn more about digital painting, it's best to get the instructional artbooks from 3DTotal Publishing instead.

While you can probably find many of the artworks in this book online, having them collected in beautiful artbook is more convenient. This is the artbook for fans who like Sam Yang's art.
