I’m so sad, because this book was a dream and many people have bought many books and then they’ll sell it on eBay. it was chaos.Īlso many followers don’t have my book. The pre-order day was February 2 nd, but many stores had published my book before…. 🙂 I lead myself this project was awesome. My book has been a success and thanks to my team, Amadeo Vallejo, Maria Araujo, Santi, Gutier, Yannick Hennebo, David Pereira, Juan Navarro, Carlos Torres, Bostria, Jeremy Breckbill and David SatterthwaiteĬS: All said and done, what would you consider the best and worst parts about making the book?īest parts: Content, step by step and marketing. Now… this is very funny, everyone wants my book! What? What do you say? Now you want my book? And before you don’t want it… I don’t understand it. So finally this book is a limited edition of 5500 books. In September 2014 I increase number of copies but nobody said to me “Good idea”…so I was not sure, but I decided to make 500 books more. It was the secret of success, when I started to announce my personal project in 2014 I had 3000 followers and now I reach 8700 followers. I was afraid, so during 2014 I made a lot of advertising of my book on Facebook. Sincerely nobody trusted in this project but more importantly I DID. to sell more 4000 paint books is very difficult.Īlso when I presented this project to CB and Vallejo and I said 5000 books, they were not very sure about this one but finally they said “YES!!” And I said “You rock ,thanks!” but, “just 5000 books Angel, to sell books is difficult.” I saw my Facebook and blog statistics, I talked to stores, painters, companies, etc…. I explain many thing about costs but it’s difficult for me.ĬS: Why only 5500 copies? That seems a rather small volume considering the number of fans you have internationally.ĪG: I made some market research. Many people think that now I’m rich but I’m not rich. Spanish government (47%), CB, Vallejo, distributors and stores have earned money with my book. Then I sold this book for CB and Vallejo and they sold this book to stores and distributors so everyone may buy this book. I payed all things, printing, miniature, translation,etc… A lot of money… I have worked many years for Privateer Press, Studio Mcvey and more companies and so I got to save money for this dream.ĬB and Vallejo didn’t finance this book. My method is easy and simple, I explain easy steps so you understand it.ĬS: What was the reasoning behind completely funding the book yourself? Did Corvus Belli or AcryllicsVallejo offer to assist, financially? If so, why did you turn them down?ĪG: Good question, this book is my dream and I trust my dream so I financed it myself because I wanted to have the control, my rules and my development. With these techniques you are able a great painter.

I made this book in my free time because this one is my personal project but if I make this one full time, I’ll finish it about 3 months.ĬS: What techniques did you decide to include in the book? How do you determine what will best help painters improve?ĪG: I explained 5 techniques: glaze, NMM, points of light, washing and stippling. This book means for me effort and sacrifice and also a way of thanks to all my followers.ĬS: If you had to give a number, about how many hours did you spend making the book?ĪG: Uffff, many hours. I wanted to make something new in my career. I decided to make a book because was my dream, It was a challenge, a new goal. In my head a book was easy but the reality was different, many hours… What made you decide to make your new book? It’s certainly a very large endeavor.ĪG: YES!! A very large endeavor. It’s a pleasure so I may explain all my decisions about my first bookĬS: To start with, let’s cover topics concerning your most recently completed endeavor: Your Masterclass book.
