This book was the result of one sketchbook, using one pencil, from start to finish. I made a replica of that book  page by page exactly as I drew within the book. There are over 300 heads varying in style and expression. I hope this book inspires new ideas for you so when you observe and draw faces from imagination, photos and TV you will see how far you are willing to push it.

”The Silver Way: Techniques, Tips, and Tutorials for Effective Character Design” This 248 page ‘How-To’ book which I have been developing for the past five years is packed with my personal approach to Character Design, Drawing, and Observation Exercises for personal improvement. It’s based on all of my notes and theories for designing and drawing that I have gained over the last 25 years of my professional career in the animation industry as a Character Designer.

“After talking with Stephen I was reinvigorated and hungry to get back to drawing. . . . He is honestly only concerned with teaching and helping other artists improve. Stephen’s work has always inspired me to be a better artist, but it was Stephen himself who inspired me to be a generous one.” ―From Foreword Mike Krahulik, Cartoonist, “Penny Arcade” -- Mike Krahulik

“Excellent book for aspiring artist and visual developers. I have no complains, its filled with everything i love in a artbook of this style, full of information, knowledge and ideas to put in practice in your own work.” - Alex Zuniga

"I have barely dipped my toes into this thick book and I already love it. And it is indeed thick, one of the thickest/biggest art instruction books I have the pleasure of owning. I was surprised by that to be honest, it is a much thicker book than I expected! There is so much fantastic and useful advice in this book, and it's presented in a nice orderly way with tons of great suggestions, tips, and exercises. It's not just a bunch of art with a little text. This book is truly instructional and it is impossible not to learn something from it." Adam K
