A Field Guide to Some of Legend's Most Fearsome Beasts
Looking for an escape from ordinary life? The adventure starts here! The Explorer's Guide to Drawing Fantasy Creatures brings to light a fantastic realm of creatures so elusive and remote, they can be found only in myths, nightmares, and the work of artists like you. With years of perilous creature-drawing adventures behind her, Emily Fiegenschuh leads you step by step through the entire process, from expressive gesture drawings to beautifully detailed artwork, right down to all the gruesome details — like how to draw the leathery wings of dragons, the Minotaur's impressive physique, and the brilliant plumage of the Hook-legged Bodeo.
