Про авторів:

3dtotal було засновано в 1999 році як простий веб-сайт із ресурсами 3D. За останнє десятиліття сайт перетворився на один із провідних веб-сайтів CG-мистецтва у світі, пропонуючи різноманітні навчальні продукти, надихаючу галерею, безкоштовну бібліотеку текстур і сотні безкоштовних посібників із різноманітних тем.

У 2006 році компанія 3dtotal уклала партнерські відносини з Focal Press і запустила популярну серію книг Digital Art Masters та Digital Painting Techniques. Головною метою цих книг було надання високоякісного вмісту, який би надихав і навчав наступне покоління цифрових художників. Завдяки роботі найкращих професіоналів галузі, докладним посібникам і розбивці зображень ці серії міцно закріпилися як незамінні ресурси для будь-якого цифрового художника.

Після п’яти успішних років співпраці з Focal Press на початку 2010 року було запущено 3dtotal Publishing. Окрім самостійного видання наступних томів уже існуючих серій Digital Art Masters та Digital Painting Techniques. , 3dtotal Publishing випустило ряд нових назв, зокрема: Sketching from the Imagination, Beginner's Guide to Digital Painting in Photoshop та ZBrush Characters and Creatures.

Про художника:

Lois van Baarle малює з того дня, як вона вміла тримати олівець, і почала вчитися малювати цифровим способом у 2003 році. Хоча вона народилася в Голландії та має голландське громадянство, вона жила по всьому світу, включаючи Сполучені Штати, Індонезію, Францію та Бельгію. Після закінчення середньої школи в 2004 році вона протягом року вивчала анімацію в Генті (Бельгія), а потім повернулася на батьківщину, щоб вивчати анімацію в Hogeschool Voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU) в Гілверсумі. Зараз вона є незалежним ілюстратором та аніматором в Утрехті (Нідерланди).
