How exactly does Eric Herrmann create the wonderful two-wheeled images that hang everywhere from bank lobbies to biker garages? Eric uses the first chapters to explain what he uses for paint, brushes, canvas, and why. The bulk of this book is made up of chapters built around a series of famous Eric Herrmann images. Find out where Eric found the inspiration for Dangerous, Wired or Crank_n, how he planned each image, and how the image developed on canvas. Part biography and part hands-on how-to manual, Eric uses one chapter to document the creation of a painting, brush stroke by brush stroke. Sequential photos illustrate each step of the painting process. This great all-color book is both a must-have for Eric's fans, and a very useful teaching tool for aspiring artists.
