Lovely artwork and helpful on drawing from models and applying it to your work but thats about it. I had sort of expected it to have a little more "oomph" but while I dont feel like it falls flat but I feel like there is something lacking.The creatures part of the book is probably something that should have either been left out or more elaborate because it only contains how to draw a unicorn and a dragon; along with some elves and a single image of a rendered dwarf character.Overall the book is just okay and maybe occasionally Ill flip through it for an idea or two but its not something I find myself drawing upon all of the time.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Gives artists some good advice on harnessing useful toolsBy MinutemarchI recently got to hear Robin Hobb speak on her writing and she said something very interesting. "If you want to make fantasy believable what is real and known in our world must be rendered accurately. If you get that right people are more likely to believe the fantastic." I dont believe this only applies to writing but to fantasy art as well.Thats where this book comes in.Most aspiring artists soon learn if youre interested in really developing as an artist youre going to need to understand realism and there are a lot of pose books around; or online photo galleries; or you can use photos you have taken yourself to help you fill in the details your brain just wont hold. I have pose books and anatomy books and a gallery of references but this is the first book I have seen that deals with both taking your own reference photos and transforming that basic image into an original character (or even really using photos to draw from at all).The excellent artwork is monochrome pencil sketches; it doesnt deal with colour but it does deal with lighting; making composite images; dealing with models professionally and even making models out of clay to work from. It offers many good tools and idea for the artist and goes into how you can harness the power of photography; models and objects to improve your art.The section on fantasy creatures is limited but you can expand on the basics given here to compose your own references beyond whats offered which is another point in its favour and what I think the purpose of this book is. Not to show you "this is how you draw a dragon" but "this is how you can use props and pictures of the natural world to create a believable fictional being."Once you know how to use these tools well youre not going to be limited to whats in this book. You can create your own looks; add colour; find your own props to incorporate into your art. I like what this book says and how it says it. I think it has a good message for aspiring and developing artists.
