Dracopedia: A Guide to Drawing the Dragons of the World Book

Pretty awesome book; loved every single one of the illustrations. However, it doesn't teach you to draw dragons. As in, if you're expecting something "step 1: draw a circle" related, you're going to be disappointed. It's more catered towards digital painting, but even then it's not quite useful. The book mainly juat states things like "make a mask (photoshop term)" or "draw a sketch then scan." Just some bare, vague instructions. I do not recommend this book for beginners. I do, however, recommend it for people with a lot of photoshop or digital artwork experience. Since I'm one of the former, I found the book to be a great reference to go to when my hands itch to draw something dragon-related. Pencil style, of course.

So yeah, I liked it. I'm more a a self-learner (is that a word?) so the full muscle and bone diagrams were great references. Also, there's little "biographies" and "histories" for each dragon type, and those were a pretty entertaining read too. 4 stars!
