Fantasy Art (Learn to Draw)

Rating:
Summary: Five stars for kids and beginners
Review: Mike Jeffries offers a lot of suggestions on how to draw, technique, ideas, etc. But for anyone who knows how to draw already, this is not a book to help you draw in a different genre. This is a from-the-ground-up drawing book.

Rating:
Summary: A good start
Review: The book teaches the reader basic technics of drawing, focusing on certain figures and objects common to the fantasy world. I found it excellent in starting to learn how to draw these figures (from nearly nothing), and how to use the basic figures I have learned, to draw others - made by my imagination. The only fallback in this book - as in any is that you only learn the basics and are left with a limited bank of figures you know to draw well (usually from only one point of view) and with a lot more in your mind's eye.

For conclusion: the books gives you the basic tools, and does that well. But only the basics...
