Drawing dragons requires an entirely different set of skills than any other form of figure drawing; part lizard, part bird, part pure ferocity, this book shows you how to break this mythical beast down to its most basic components (line, gesture, colour, expression), so you’ll be drawing the most vicious critters in no time.

By beginning with the basic structure and gradually adding details to the form, this book provides easy step-by-step instructions (with helpful explanations and directions from the illustrators themselves) to some of the best illustration secrets fine artists and CGI designers rely upon.

With its fierce, fun, and simply stunning illustrations, How to Draw Your Dragon is the perfect mythical drawing manual for aspiring artists and dragon lovers of any age.
