Reviews

Elizabeth Siddal suggests that this learn to draw dragons book is suitable for preteens and adults. She says:

“I got this for an 11 year old’s birthday. My 10 year old who gave it as a gift now wants one. It breaks the drawings down into manageable parts. The birthday girl already had a pretty good dragon drawn by the next day using the book’s design. It offers multiple claw shapes, wings, heads, and tails, so you can mix and match.”

Amazon buyer hdcollins85 tells us that this dragon drawing book has great step by step directions and notes:

“I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 8 year old dragon-loving son. Too many art books give ridiculous instructions where step 1 is a bunch of shapes and then a step or two later is some detailed finished product with little help getting from one to the other. This one shows a long progression which I think will help a lot.”

Maria Beni exclaims that this book is a great help and comments:

“I love this book. It’s great for anybody who wants to get into drawing the fairy/fantasy world. Great for beginners and up and includes more than dragons. I will use this book many many times and share it with my fellow artists.”
