Review of
Marvel: The Amazing 1000 Dot-to-Dot Book,
by Thomas Pavitte ISBN 9781781573501
Five out of five stars
Amazing test of the steady hands of an artist
All of us have at one point in our lives worked a
simple dot-to-dot drawing, where, by connecting the dots, we have created a
basic image. However, these are several levels of magnitude beyond those
exercises. Twenty of the Marvel comic book characters appear in these very
detailed and minutely constructed images to be created by the reader.
The numbers on
the dots are so small that I found it necessary to use a magnifying glass in
order to find the start position. It will also be necessary to use an extremely
fine-pointed pen to connect the dots, as the distance between them is generally
very short.
This book
contains a great set of exercises for the budding artist, whether their
interest is in comic books or something else. Using a steady hand and some
significant patience, it is possible to create very detailed images of famous
Marvel comic book characters.
