"Fairy tales have always been
a safe place to examine dark things. Over the centuries,
we have pulled their teeth, removed the sharp and nasty bits
just in case -- god forbid -- a child might read them."

Entertainment Design Director at the
Art Center College of Design, Scott Robertson said, "Several
years ago it struck me that people would be interested to witness
the creative visualization process we undertake within the
entertainment design discipline." His interest in education
and his desire to share the amazing things that were occurring
in his studio classes at Art Center led him to the creation
of this magnificent book.
A tale from the Brothers Grimm provides inspiration for three
gifted students from the world-renowned Art Center College
of Design in Pasadena, California. For fourteen weeks, Khang
Le, Mike Yamada, and Felix Yoon were guided by their instructor,
Scott Robertson, to create original design solutions for the
environments, characters, props, and vehicles found within
The Skillful Huntsman The trio's sketches and full-color
renderings thoroughly document the creative process of concept
design, revealing a host of intriguing places - from sci-fi
cities to castles - and people - from giants to royalty.
A running dialogue between Robertson and his students also
lets readers in on the behind-the-scenes action of one of the
world.s leading entertainment design schools, as they discuss
the ideas and techniques used to create this stunning collection
of artwork.
This exciting book surpasses the typical story-art
book in that it takes the reader on a step-by-step journey
in the creation of a fully realized vision. Using digital and
traditional media, the artists and Robertson reveal some of
their visual tricks of the trade. A must for artists, aspiring
entertainment designers, comic aficionados, and anyone interested
in the creative process, The Skillful Huntsman. offers insight
into the mysterious world of the imagination
