~ Helping you learn ~
I carefully wrote and organized the 150 pages of 'Art Head Start' with your learning needs foremost in my mind. And more than 180 images, many created by me, keep the concepts clear.
~ Foundation for success ~
A successful artist goes beyond mastering their tools, challenging as that is.Employers and art audiences want creativity. They want artists to reveal their unique personal vision. They aren't very interested in uninspired art tool "operators".
An understanding of visual language and visual communication is a solid foundation on which you can grow your own unique artistic vision.
~ My low price ~
Ebook experts tell me to charge at least $50 for this much high quality information - but I'd rather get 'Art Head Start' into the hands of art students on tight budgets.'Art Head Start' is still $19.95. But marketing costs keep rising - better not wait too long!
It's easy to download. You may not need them, but detailed printable instruction are here. You'll also need the free Adobe Reader. Most folks already have that.
No risk, no questions asked, 100% money-back guarantee

EXCELLENT! I don't know why this is called a tutorial. It's a big book, like you'd see in an actual college art class. It teaches you quite a bit about how to make your images more appealing to others and yourself.

Thanks so much for taking the time to create the tutorials and then sharing them with us.
I don't have an 'art background' so your ebook was/is a great way to jumpstart my knowledge...
THANK YOU!

All I can say is THANK YOU so very much.
I got the tutorial this morning and I have already started reading it. It is superbly written and so detailed.
I have always been clueless about what adjustments to make to achieve the scenes I wish to. My analytical mind wanted an explanation of these processes. Software manuals just do not explain any of the processes in depth.
I am so glad you took the time to write your tutorial for beginners (or stupid long time users). I wish I would have had this tutorial when I first started. I have nothing but praise for you!
Many kudos to you for a wonderful work,

Hi
I've just been watching some of the video tutorials (ed: these are our free Vue 3D tutorials available elsewhere on this site).
I'm a total beginner in working with Vue (and 3d apps in general) and I've found it difficult to find really good tutorials that beginners can follow.
Your tutorials are great! They are so easy to follow. I've learnt so much that would have probably taken me weeks (if not months) to learn on my own.
I'm so glad I came across them - thank you so much for making them available on the net.

Well done sir!

I'm only 1/3 of the way through, but I can't begin to tell you how great this book is. I was skeptical at first, but not anymore. Concepts I thought I understood are clearer now and I am learning new things every step of the way. Plus I can always go back to it as a reference. Jim also has a good mix of text and visuals to keep you engaged. Like i said I am only 1/3 through, but I feel like I got my money's worth already.

Bought this based on the reviews, and I'm glad I did! Learned a *ton* reading through this and practicing. For a semi-newbie like me, it was perfect, and better than some print books I've wasted my money on. Covers everything you need to get going. :-)

Like many ebooks, 'Art Head Start' is in Adobe PDF format. Unlike many ebooks, I don't protect it from piracy with unfriendly Digital Rights Management software schemes. My ebook is protected from editing or copying, but you can now print it (earlier versions did not allow printing).

Of course 'Art Head Start' is copyrighted, with an original copy at the U.S. Copyright Office in Washington, D.C. In the event of a lawsuit for plagiarism, this ensures a win for me. And the abuser must pay all legal costs plus damages.~ Informative emails ~
