Customer Reviews

mythical mom

We choose this book over others because it has great multi-step drawings that were appropriate for the beginner to the more advanced detail artist. We also liked that it was not limited to just dragons. My kids are tweens and teens into Harry Potter style and martial arts drawings.

GREAT !!!!

This is the book for those who wish to learn how to draw those wonderful dragon characters. Superb addition to the library of pyrographers, carvers, and other crafts folks.

Great Guide!

This book is a great reference to have on the bookshelf of your studio if you're an artist and a great learning tool if you want to be an artist and/or learn to draw. I have several in this Collector's Series; The Art of Basic Drawing, The Art of Pencil Drawing and The Art of Drawing People. They are all equally good and permanent books that I'm proud to have in my studio!

DRAGONS

BOOK WAS BIGGER AND MORE DETAILED THAN I WAS EXPECTING. EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY. MY CHILDREN ABSOLUTLEY LOVE THE BOOK AND ARE ABLE TO DRAW MUCH BETTER SINCE USING IT. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ANY ONE INTERESTED IN DRAWING.

Dragon fun.

This is a fun book for drawing dragons and other fantasy mythological creatures. I didn't care for the artist's interpretation of some of the characters, as they were a little cartoonish for my style. However, I was expecting that from looking at the cover, and this book held up to my expectations and more. He covers a wide variety of mythological creatures from around the world in step by step format. I even found myself interested in the brief explanations of each creatures' origins, and wanting to know more. Overall, it was a fun book that can spark your imagination, and inspire some creative drawing.
