The Art of Arantza

There are scores of artists working in the field of erotic fantasy but Arantza (a woman by the way) stands head and shoulders above most of the hacks by infusing her drawings of beautiful women with life. Here is an artist that knows how to draw and knows what a woman actually looks like. This may seem like a redundant statement, but believe me, it's not. Most artists working today have little or no sense of proportion, anatomy or composition. I will not name names, but they know who they are. By using pencil tones and a brilliant use of light/dark these drawings come off almost as paintings since these are not just a collection of sketches but fully realised works. Normally I don't include images from the interior artwork of a book, but here I'll make an exception so you can see what I mean.
The Illustrations lean heavily towards the dark erotic fantasy with many drawings of nude or scantily clad vampires, witches and gothic locales.
To me, Arantza follows in the same tradition as other Spanish artists like José González, Sanjulián, Esteban Maroto, Fernando Fernandez and Enrich, all of whom were true masters of the medium. Get this one while it's still in print!
