"This book supports my own 30-year crusade to demonstrate that games are an art form that undeniably rivals traditional arts. It gives detailed explanations of game art techniques and their importance, while also highlighting their dependence on artistic aspects of game design and programming.”
— John Romero, co-founder of id Software and CEO of Loot Drop, Inc.
"Solarski’s methodology here is to show us the artistic techniques that every artist should know, and then he transposes them to the realm of video games to show how they should be used to create a far more artful gaming experience ... if I were an artist planning to do video game work, I’d have a copy of this on my shelf."
— Marc Mason, Comics Waiting Room
Video games are not a revolution in art history, but an evolution. Whether the medium is paper or canvas—or a computer screen—the artist’s challenge is to make something without depth seem like a window into a living, breathing world. Video game art is no different.
Drawing Basics and Video Game Art is first to examine the connections between classical art and video games, enabling developers to create more expressive and varied emotional experiences in games. Artist game designer Chris Solarski gives readers a comprehensive introduction to basic and advanced drawing and design skills—light, value, color, anatomy, concept development—as well as detailed instruction for using these methods to design complex characters, worlds, and gameplay experiences. Artwork by the likes of Michelangelo, Titian, and Rubens are studied alongside AAA games like BioShock, Journey, the Mario series, and Portal 2, to demonstrate perpetual theories of depth, composition, movement, artistic anatomy, and expression.
Although Drawing Basics and Video Game Art is primarily a practical reference for artists and designers working in the video games industry, it’s equally accessible for those interested to learn about gaming’s future, and potential as an artistic medium.

Dark Horse Comics: Авторські Світи, Легендарні Франшизи та Елітна Манґа
Dark Horse Comics – це видавництво, яке завжди йшло своїм шляхом, надаючи майданчик для унікальних авторських голосів та майстерно працюючи з відомими ліцензіями. Їхній каталог – це скарбниця для читача, що шукає щось більше, ніж стандартна супергероїка. Їхні головні напрямки:
- Авторські комікси: Проєкти, що повністю належать своїм творцям.
- Ліцензійні серії: Комікси за мотивами фільмів, ігор та книг.
- Видання манґи: Високоякісні англомовні (іноді й російські – через партнерів) видання японської манґи.
Від Пекла до Міста Гріхів та Академії Амбрелла: Авторські Всесвіти
Dark Horse подарували світові кілька справжніх ікон авторського коміксу:
- Всесвіт Геллбоя (Hellboy Universe): Похмурі та атмосферні історії Майка Міньйоли про хлопця з пекла, Бюро Паранормальних Розслідувань та Оборони (B.P.R.D.) та інших персонажів.
- Місто Гріхів (Sin City): Нуарні, брутальні та стильні графічні новели Френка Міллера.
- Академія Амбрелла (The Umbrella Academy): Незвичайна супергеройська сага Джерарда Вея та Ґабріеля Ба.
- 300 Френка Міллера та інші авторські роботи.
Відьмак, Чужі, Хижаки: Світ Ліцензійних Коміксів
Dark Horse майстерно розширюють відомі всесвіти у форматі коміксів:
- The Witcher (Відьмак): Офіційні комікси, що доповнюють світ гри та книг про Ґеральта з Рівії.
- Чужий (Alien), Хижак (Predator), Чужий проти Хижака (AvP): Безліч історій, що розширюють ці культові sci-fi горор всесвіти.
- Cyberpunk 2077: Комікси за мотивами популярної відеогри.
- Star Wars (історично): Довгий час саме Dark Horse видавали комікси по "Зоряних Війнах", і багато з цих серій стали класикою Розширеного Всесвіту.
Еталонні Видання Манґи: Легендарний "Берсерк"
Dark Horse відіграли величезну роль у популяризації манґи на Заході, випустивши якісні видання багатьох культових серій. Особливо вони відомі:
- Виданнями "Берсерка" (Berserk): Їхні делюкс-гардкавери збільшеного формату вважаються одним із найкращих способів познайомитися з шедевром Кентаро Міури.
- Класичними виданнями таких серій, як "Акіра" (Akira), "Привид у броні" (Ghost in the Shell), "Самотній вовк та його дитина" (Lone Wolf and Cub).
Їхні видання манґи (найчастіше англійською) цінуються за якість перекладу та поліграфії.
Якість та Впізнаваний Стиль Dark Horse
Видавництво відоме своєю увагою до якості друкованої продукції. Їхні збірки у м'якій (TPB) та особливо у твердій палітурці (HC, Deluxe Edition, Omnibus) вирізняються гарним папером, якісним друком та довговічністю. Часто їхній каталог має більш похмурий, дорослий чи авторський характер порівняно з "Великою Двійкою".
Англійський Оригінал чи Російський Переклад?
У нашому магазині комікси Dark Horse Publishing можуть бути представлені як в оригіналі англійською мовою, так і в російському перекладі від партнерських видавництв (наприклад, "XL Media", "Азбука", "Комільфо" та ін.). Уважно дивіться опис товару, щоб обрати потрібну мову.
