Learn how to draw the creatures and scenes of your wildest fantasies with this easy-to-follow manual. Built around a 20-page core of the basics--materials, the figure, perspective, light, and color--this book presents step-by-step instructions and illustrations that explain techniques and approaches for creating eight supernatural creatures of the night, including a dragon, a sea monster, a werewolf, a vampire, and other beastly beings.
This exciting full-color guide is geared toward fans of fantasy who enjoy drawing and are looking for tips and ideas that will help them further develop their illustrations. The author, professional illustrator Steve Beaumont, produces concept art for video games and storyboards for film, animation, and advertising. He teaches fantasy art classes and is himself completely self-taught, proving that anyone, with practice, is capable of producing remarkable artwork. The book concludes with a few pages from one of his sketchbooks that share some elements of his artistic process.
