This is a very good guide to any budding fantasy artist or artist wanting to bring fantasy elements into their work. I have a number of books on this subject and this is one of the best around because it deals with technique.

This book brings all the elements of everything you will need to draw fantasy art from start to finish, including the tools and basic equipment to get you started. The book is packed with professional drawings and painted illustrations to guide and inspire you along your creative way.
I found this book inspiring and a creatively organized book to follow with examples and techniques throughout.
The book also gives some tips to find reference material to get focused on drawing fantasy art and also with a small couple of pages telling you how to get in there and sell your art to potential companies, although I would recommend other resources on the internet for detailed information about earning from your art.
A great read this book and one that I reference a bit for creative ways on drawing figures to which it suggested to draw figures with the use of geometric shapes and to me this sounds logical and it really does work!

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent guide, well set out and illustrated with lots of examples. It has a small section on digital art, which I am not in to, but everything is achievable the old-fashioned way. He covers all the basics in a practical and easy to follow manner, and the principles are covered thoroughly and clearly. He also discusses the professional side of things - getting an agent (or doing without), etc. The gallery at the end has some truly inspirational and stunning examples of artwork.
A very well thought out book.

Thought Provoking
This is a hard book to sum up really, not because it is difficult to read or not very imformative, because it is a compelling, imformative read from cover to cover. Read more
