Synopsis
Fantasy continues to be hot, and it's not just for kids interested in comics. Many fine artists love mythological creatures like mermaids, centaurs, and dragons. And with Creating Creatures of Fantasy and Imagination, they'll learn how to make realistic-looking fantasy artwork. With her characteristic friendly instruction, Claudia Nice shows ways to:
*Transform everyday images into imaginary creatures, such as a horse into a unicorn or a girl into a pixie, by using exaggeration and expression
*Enhance drawings and paintings with accessories, homes, pets, and vibrant backgrounds
*Create these images with a wide variety of mediums, including pen and ink, watercolor, and acrylic
In addition, readers receive the legend behind each creature, designed to help jumpstart their imaginations!
