Hell Beasts

If you harbor a desire to draw imagery most foul, this book will help you loose the creative beast within! Top gaming artist Jim Pavelec helps beginning and intermediate artists become master monster makers from the ground up by first teaching the basics of drawing, painting, and sculpting, as well as important fundamentals of shape, gesture, pose, and point of view.

Following 25 step-by-step demonstrations, readers will learn how to create familiar creatures like dragons, harpies, and zombies, as well as orcs, ogres, onis, and orobons. The book is divided into four grisly chapters that cover all the major monster categories including bipeds, quadrupeds, and a variety of winged, reptilian, and aquatic creatures.

The book examines the unique skeletal structure, musculature, and organic features of monsters in an effort to help artists achieve realistic results. It also includes detailed diagrams of human and animal anatomy to help artists flesh out their creations.

Learn to draw the stuff nightmares are made of!
