Fantasy Characters

This beautifully illustrated guide by fantasy artist Jessica "NeonDragon" Peffer encourages artists of every skill level to create their favorite dwarves, elves, merfolk, fauns, and fairies easily and quickly.

The easy to follow, color coded instructions first address the basic anatomy that most fantasy characters share (such as proportions, gender specific body parts, and facial expressions), then move on to their more unusual characteristics, including pointy ears, wings, feathers, and fins. Initial pencil drawings quickly become shaded, colored illustrations as readers follow along.

Drawing techniques, historical facts, costuming, environments, and decorative backgrounds are all covered in Peffer's practical approach to one of the hottest trends in drawing.
