Gr 6 Up—Fans of fantasy role-playing or deck-building games will enjoy this series as they learn to draw their favorite mythical creatures. The basis of many of these projects shares the same kind of anatomical framework of limbs and joints used in realistic figure and animal drawing, allowing young artists the opportunity to rearrange their creatures into a variety of poses. The techniques learned throughout these titles allow for animal and human anatomical components to be swapped and combined to make unique chimerical creatures even beyond the examples demonstrated.
VERDICT Solid, skills-based approach to drawing fantastic characters and creatures.
Besides increasing drawing skills by sketching some fierce-looking creatures, fantasy fans can read descriptions of these mythical beasts and expand their repertoire of knowledge about the creatures' features and lore. These drawing books are not for rank beginners, but the examples are broken down into some basic shapes to help the observant copyist. Younger enthusiasts will enjoy looking at the pictures. Reading list. Review covers the following Edge Books: Drawing Fantasy Creatures titles: How to Draw Dragons, Trolls, and Other Dangerous Monsters and How to Draw Griffins, Unicorns, and Other Mythical Beasts.
