Book Reviews of Drawing Dragons and Those Who Hunt Them

Book Review: Not for adults
Summary: 1 Stars

"Drawing Dragons and Those Who Hunt Them" has about 48 different dragon drawings. The description implies that the art has an edge and is "high art" on the contrary all the dragons are cartoonish. Many of the drawings lack fine detail and shading rendering them flat. Also a majority of the dragons are unusually fat making flight implausible. As one who wanted high art/serious dragons, the book is a disappointment. For those who want serious dragon art, there are none on Amazon that I can find. There is a selection of various mature art books, one can start that search with "The Art of Arantza." Be warned, "Drawing Dragons" has two fold out double pages, so do not assume that they are pages not cut in the manufacturing of the book.

Summary of Drawing Dragons and Those Who Hunt Them

From Smaug to Puff, from wyverns to Hungarian Horntails, dragons are everyone's favorite mythological beasts. In Christopher Hart's new book Drawing Dragons and Those Who Hunt Them, he brings more power, drama, and depth to dragons than has ever been seen before. Towering, fierce, and merciless, yet devoted to their young, these dragons prey upon the medieval villagers of fantasy's Dark Ages. Hart masterfully unfolds a story of dragon against man, illustrated with remarkable splash pages and two lavishly illustrated fold-out gatefolds of action-packed battles. Step-by-step how-tos on drawing a dragon's fire-breathing head and awe-inspiring body, dragon horns, fire, attacking dragons, dragon flight patterns, dragon birth and death, dragon catacombs, baby dragons, hunting dragons, weapons, and even the mysterious dragon graveyard show fantasy artists how to create their own stunning, startling dragon worlds.
