Book description
Make your fantasy world a reality.
Conjure up the mythical heroes and fantastical beasts that roam your
imagination. With just a pencil, some paper - and perhaps a broadsword
- you can unleash the mighty monsters of your mind, including deadly
dragons and brutish orcs, or ethereal inhabitants such as elegant
elves and mermaids.
Artist and dragon expert J "NeonDragon" Peffer (along with
Dolosus, her fire-breathing dragon familiar) will give you tips and
tricks to help you create your own unique fantasy world full of
legends, fairy tales and things that go bump in the night. Surpass the
drawing skills of mere mortals with this master collection of
easy-to-follow, step-by-step instruction.
