Book review- sketch dragons
This is another book from Impact publishing’s “Sketch” series. So to follow the concept it comprises of a couple of pages of tutorials followed by some blank paper to practice them on. Because of this set up I have the same problems with this book as I did the Sketch funny faces book and that is the fact that I would rather have a book of drawing tutorials and a separate sketch book.
Sketch Dragons is a well presented hardback book with good quality drawing paper but unfortunately for me the content just isn’t up to scratch. The book is missing basic dragon drawing tutorials and the absence of this means that any beginner would really struggle when it came to drawing the body shape and pose in the later more advanced tutorials. I showed this book to some year 11 pupils who attend my art club and all of them had the same problem with it.
That being said there are some good points, in particularly the guides to drawing different types of dragon horns and the guide to drawing scales. Unfortunately that is all the book has to offer and on that basis there are far better ‘How to’ books available when it comes to drawing dragons.
