Digital Painting Techniques: Practical Techniques of Digital Art Masters

This is a good book if you don't like to do online searches or don't know of online resources for this kind of information.
Pros:
- Color pictures
- Shows different techniques
- Emphasis on practical
Cons:
- Information is limited
- Online might be a better source for this
Overall, if you find the names of the artists and look them up online you'll get the same (and more) information about them. Typically I expect a book to have more information than a website, but the book doesn't go in depth of any topic. It didn't feel like I was learning much. A bit generic.
The collection of work and variety is decent, and the it has enough good color prints but I'd have a hard time recommending this to most people.
