Title: Drawing and Painting Fantasy Figures : From the Imagination to the Page by Finlay Cowan ISBN: 0-7641-2628-8 Publisher: Barrons Educational Series Pub. Date: 15 October, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $21.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (1 review)
Rating: 4
Summary: An excellent book (in a lonely field)
Comment: There aren't very many illustration books out there that deal with drawing from the imagination. Most are concerned only with drawing from nature, from a model, still life, etc. There's the Encyclopedia of Fantasy Art, of course, but that is more of a collection of examples, and not much of a learning resource. And there are a few well-known comic book titles, but they are mostly dated and directed at the pre-teen crowd.
Cowan's book, however, fills this gap nicely. It has a great look and is very informative. The only reason it doesn't get the full 5 stars is because it tries to cover too much material. Two books -- one on drawing and one on painting -- would have been much better, as it would have allowed more detailed coverage of both topics.
All in all, though, highly recommended.
