Drawing and Painting Fantasy Beasts by Kevin Walker
A while ago in May 2006 (that's what the camera dates it as), I was browsing through the art section at Kino, and I was fascinated by this book by Kevin Walker.
"Bring to life the creatures and monsters of other realms", the subtitle proclaimed. In it was a comprehensive how-to on drawing stuff like dragons, wraiths, trolls, elves, fairies, right from line-drawing to full on oil-on-canvas instructions.
The funniest thing I saw in the book was this section on how to draw "completely imaginary creatures". While this meant creating a non-conventional monster, it looked out of place beside drawings on other imaginary creatures, like trolls and fairies.
My favourite section? The dragons, of course. Always the dragons. (The pic on the right is by my favourite HP artist, Marta of ArtDungeon.)Libellés : art, harry potter
