Learn to draw colossal dragons and legendary heroes!
It was a stormy night in Northern Wales when I and my apprentice,
Conceil, had to take shelter in an old stalkers cottage along Caernarfon
Bay. A peat fire was lit, and our guide, Sir Geoffrey Guest, regaled us
with ancient stories of dragons while, outside, the gale battered the
coastline....
What follows is a retelling of classical legends, plucked from the
folklore of cultures spread across time and around the world, from
ancient Greece and China to Medieval England and Norse mythology. You'll
discover the epochal dragons who reigned over snow and sea; those with
wings and flaming maws; those who thwarted Beowulf in underground lairs;
and those slain by Hercules' mighty sword.
Dracopedia Legends presents 13 epic tales of heroes vanquishing
dragons, accompanied by lavish dragon illustrations inspired by the
myths. Acting as both a storybook and art guide, each chapter also
includes in-depth instructions to reveal how to conceptualize, research
and design every iconic battle scene, broken down into multiple stages
so you can create your own commanding and evocative narrative paintings.
Includes:
- 13 tales of the most legendary dragons from around the world
- Instructions for drawing and painting each climactic clash between
hero and beast
- How to design, sketch and develop illustrations into layered and
detailed final paintings
