Dracopedia The Great Dragons: An Artist's Field Guide and Drawing Journal

Absolutely beautiful art. I saw it In Barnes and Nobles and knew I had to own this book. The imagery includes interesting facts and backstories. It's great for all ages to read and enjoy! I'm the proud owner if both volumes and the series even has a book on legendary beast If you're interested in collecting all. All in all, the price may be a bit steep but it's a great collection to any bookshelf or reference to any aspiring artist!

Wanted this book and "Dracopedia: A Guide to Drawing the Dragons of the World" for so long, and am jazzed that I now own both. This book is great, and is a terrific compliment to the above mentioned book. Because I bought this and the other one used, I was able to afford both. I have to say that "Dracopedia: A Guide to Drawing the Dragons of the World" is my favorite of the two, but this book compliments the other so well. If you have to choose between both, I'd recommend the guide to drawing the dragons of the world before I'd recommend this one. Still, I'm happy to have both and together they are among my favorite fantasy drawing books.

I picked up this book a few days ago and I'm really glad I did. It has been very helpful when I'm seeking ideas and inspiration for drawing realistic dragons. Besides showing digital paintings in various stages of completion, the book also presents background stories of each dragon which are very useful for creature creation. You must take into consideration your creature's 'story'; it's possible evolution and the habitat it dwells in if you want to make it 'real' to the viewer's eye. I just love how the author presented his drawing techniques in the form of a naturalist's drawing journal and would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for advice on how to draw believable dragons.

Sin lugar a dudas este libro es de lo mejor que existe, es verdaderamente una enciclopedia de dragones, si eres amante de estas fantásticas criaturas debes tener este libro si o si

Great reference for artist that wants to draw different types of dragons or to create their own! Beautiful illustrated pages as I can remember, and some tips. :)Cons: Lost it to the abusive ex after he refuse to send my stuff back to me when I left him, so I don't remember much about it now. :( Been 3 years, but I highly recommended it to any young artist looking for inspiration to draw dragons of all regions!

I am a huge dragon and fantasy fan and adore these books; I am shocked and saddened by the passing of William O. Connor and would recommend any and all of his works to any fantasy fan. These books feature beautiful illustrations, beautiful design, presentation, and overall feel and aesthetic. Highly recommend to dragon fans and book collectors who are looking for quality work.

i got this book for my 13 year old daughters birthday. she love dragons so muchand she loves art so this book gave her more ways to draw dragons

Beautiful addition to my collection of fantasy books! The book arrived in perfect condition, and the art is just wonderful

Buena calidad

Ótimo livro, recomendo muito

Wer sich nur im geringsten für die Themen „Drachen“ und / oder Zeichnen (und englisch kann) interessiert wird dieses Buch lieben!Die Aufmachung ist einfach sehr schön und gelungen.Hier berichtet ein „Drachenforscher“ von seinen (natürlich fiktiven) Expeditionen in „Drachengebiete“ auf der ganzen Welt.Er zeigt seine Reiseführer, Karten und genaue Hintergründe zu den „beobachteten“ Spezies.Sogar Warntafeln wie; „Vorsicht Drachen! Hunde bitte an der Leine lassen!“ werden gezeigt! ;-)„Nebenbei“ erklärt er, wie er die Drachen gezeichnet und gemalt hat.Hier ist fast alles dabei; vom Knochengerüst, Muskulatur bis zur richtigen Bildgestaltung mit Dynamik und Schwung bis zum „goldenen Schnitt!Die gezeigten Zeichnungen und Gemälde sind einfach wunderschön und hochwertig. (Siehe Cover)Ich hatte beim lesen, aufgrund der witzigen Idee einen „echten Forscher“ zu begleiten und der schönen Bilder, die ganze Zeit ein Lächeln im Gesicht!

these books are a awesome collection , great for dragon and drawing fans, thanks

This book is for me daughter. She is very happy
