Draw Fantasy Art Books
- 101 Ways To Draw Fantasy Figures By Frances Tsai - This a book review I did and it was a good book for the intermediate artist.
- Drawing And Painting The Undead By Keith Thompson - A book that I was after for a few months and then when I got it, I was drawing and inspired (still am!) to draw lots of cool stuff, a good book with many inspirational fantasy creatures.
- How To Draw And Paint Dragons By Tom Kidd - Another book review I did, learning how to draw dragons in all their many forms is just so fantastic, although this isn't the definitive guide on drawing dragons it certainly gives it a good shot and inspiring too.
- Hard Curves The Fantasy Art Of Julie Bell - Julie Bell is the wife of popular fantasy artist veteran Boris Vallejo and she is a fantastic artist in her own right, see a collection of her work within this book, I reviewed it.
- Boris Vallejo: Fantasy Art Techniques - A misleading title for a book that just serves as a gallery for the artist, oh well, there's tiny snippets of technique, but not a lot, good book though.
- The Fantasy Art Illustrators Technique Book - This one is great as it has everything and like many books lots of inspiration in drawing fantasy art creatures and characters as well as setting the scene for fantasy worlds too, I do recommend this book!
- Fantasy Art Of The New Millenium - A look at many professional fantasy artists and their work, from Alan Lee to Brom and John Howe To Don Maitz. a truly inspiring book that is over 10 years old, but still a great book nonetheless.
- Forging Dragons By John Howe - All about dragons and the inspirations on how to create dragons by legendary fantasy artist John Howe, this is more of a gallery of his work, but it is very inspiring to see his pencil sketches of wyrms and dragons.
- Monster Book Of Manga - Draw More Manga - Massive book with lots of drawing tutorials of different things to draw in the Manga style, There are a few of these books from Ikari Studios and they are presented well, with no fluff, just focused drawing tutorials to learn to draw characters and creatures in the manga style.
