Customer Reviews

Good book for beginers to intermediate

Unlike other books I bought this one is not only showing you finish artwork, but it shows you how to do it with clear instructions. There's a lot of creatures also to get inspiration. The techniques demonstrated goes from traditional to digital.

very good less comic strip style book

I really enjoy this book for its more professional, polished, artwork. (For some reason there is a stigma among booksellers and teachers that all dragon and fairy how to books have to be for children and young adults. This is definitely not the case.) Not all the creatures are perfect and not all the creatures are favorites of mine but overall this is a nice book for the more advanced artist, or even a nice coffe table book for those just intrested in the subject.

Little Bill

Really Kool! I loved the art work. It was a little beyond my immature status for drawing pics but if I continue to practice I'll get better. Whoever created these drawings has a gift for fantasy.

Very nice!

I've looked through this book several times while browsing various bookstores. Over and over I've found myself marveling at the wonderful artwork that lines the book. For me, I must say it's an excellent book for drawing fantasy beasts, painting them as well. I'm yet to get the book, but I've looked at it enough times to know how good it is. Personally, it's one of my favorite "How-to-Draw" books.

Enjoyable and Instructive

I bought the Drawing & Painting Fantasy Beasts and the Fantasy Figures books for our high school library. The kids really enjoy them and so do I. I just signed on to see what else might be in this series and to order more copies. While these books may not appeal to everyone (not enough step-by-step for true beginners), the layout and abundance of good pictures and ideas will grab most readers and artists.
