(Drumroll puuuhhlllease)...
Well, many of you have been awaiting the debut of "The Art of Animal Character Design with David Colman". For those who are unaware it is a book I have been working on for quite some time about my practices, philosophies, and processes used when designing animal characters. It is a self published project to debut in winter of 2006/2007. I decided not to rush it for the San Diego Comic Con but felt it would be a good opportunity to promote the book. So, I went ahead and had a small "teaser" or "trailer" version printed to help advertise and give the fans a small taste of what is to come. It is called "The Art of Animal Character Design with David Colman_ The Little Brother Edition". A 36 page full color book about the size of most of the small sketchbooks on the market. Once again, just a preview, but a meal worth feasting upon. Only 150 copies were printed and it will be a Con Exclusive. The above piece is the wrap around cover for this teaser edition.
Cheers!

Hey David,
I like the new look. That must be the"Art of Animal Character Design with David Colman" you're reading there!;) I can't wait to see the complete version, it looks very promising judging from that beautiful elephant piece! Very cool composition and colors, as well as of course character design.
Thanks for your last comment on my blog btw, that was hilarious! but also helpful with some great suggestions for light sources, thanks again.
Have a great day,
Hans
