(More customer reviews)DragonArt Evolution expands on the previous book from J. "NeonDragon" Peffer, DragonArt, giving a full treatment to the art of drawing dragons. As in her previous book, she provides a plethora of easy to follow step-by-step instructions with her inspiring art. This is an amazing book for anyone who loves dragon-inspired art, or wants to create their own dragon artwork.
This book is divided as follows:
Introduction
- How To Use The Book
- Dragon Basic Shapes
- Dragon Shading and 3-D Effects
- Perspective and Overlap
- Color And Pattern Considerations
Part 1: Dragon Anatomy and Equipment
- Eyes
- Overbite Jaw
- Underbite Jaw
- Beak Jaw
- Ears
- Horns
- Dragon Wings
- Scales
- Dragon Limbs
- Dragon Bridles and Saddles
Part 2: Dragon Demonstrations
- Dragon Head Shapes
- Dragon Expressions
- Medieval Dragons
- Lung Dragons
- Dragon Hatchlings
- Fairy Dragon
- Sea Dragon
- Dragon Lich
- Feathered Dragon
- Mesoamerican Dragon
- Dragon Rider
- Dragon Scene
The sections in the Introduction were repeated from the first DragonArt book, with the exception of Color And Pattern Considerations. In contrast, Part 1 is much elaborated and detailed than similar sections in the before mentioned book. However, Part 2 is the best part of this book, with page after page full of tutorials about drawing dragons. Here you will learn how to draw all sort of dragons, showing dragon heads from front, side and 3/4 view, and full dragon views. I also found the Dragon Scene section to be interesting albeit short, providing an overview on how the scenes found in this book were painted digitally.
There should be plenty of dragons for every one in this book. However, 144 pages were not enough for me, but that is because I can never get enough from J. Peffer's artwork.
