Welcome to the 50 best workshops from the past 50 issues of ImagineFX. The team and I have hand-picked this selection of workshops from the best digital artists working today. Just like in the ImagineFX magazine, we’ve got some unmissable advice from a host of leading concept artists, art directors, video game and comic artists… a mix of talent that you just can’t get anywhere else.

On this disc you’ll find not only step-by-step guidance from these artists, but also their high-res layered files, custom brushes, textures, photo references and videos, too. You’ll learn new digital art techniques and will also gain insight into fundamental art skills from anatomy to composition.

I have no doubt that after you’ve worked your way through these workshops, you’ll have honed new skills and will become a more versatile artist. Let me know how you get on.
