Editorial Reviews Dragon Drawing Book
From School Library Journal
Grade 4–6—The vibrant, eye-catching cover of this well-designed, neatly arranged book is sure to attract the attention of dragon fans and aspiring artists. A "Choose your tools" box illustrates the supplies needed (pastel pencil, crayon, watercolor, fine-tip marker, colored pencil, marker, poster paint). An outline map (that does not identify the continents) indicates where the types of dragons originated. Detailed drawings of 11 creatures (Aboriginal Rainbow Serpent, Lambton Wyrm, Chinese Imperial Dragon, etc.) require anywhere from 12 to 50 steps to complete. The technique is similar to the method used in Lee J. Ames's books, but Masiello includes boxes with additional drawing ideas for fish scales, Maya patterns and shapes, a treasure chest, and so on, and a paragraph of facts about each dragon. The glorious, fire-breathing creatures depicted nearly leap off the page.—Augusta R. Malvagno, Queens Borough Public Library, NY

From Pencil Drawings dragons Booklist
In this handsome, large-format book, Masiello introduces 11 traditional beasts and shows how to draw them. For each, he provides a series of detailed drawings that build up to the finished pictures slowly, guiding young artists line by line. Masiello uses the term dragon broadly to include Ouroboros and the cockatrice as well as more traditional forms such as Fafnir, the Aboriginal Australian Rainbow Serpent, and the Chinese imperial dragon. By closely following the series of Pencil Drawings dragons, with the new lines in red, an aspiring artist of even modest talent could end up with a respectable representation of a dragon. After two to eight wordless pages of step-by-step Pencil Drawings dragons , the finished picture appears, brightened with brilliant colors and accompanied by a paragraph discussing the beast. The book opens with an author's note and a world map placing the dragons on five continents. It closes with a pronunciation guide and short lists of recommended books and Web sites. Well designed and practical. Phelan, Carolyn --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.About the Author

This addition to Masiello's drawing series is more advanced than his Ocean Drawing Book and is probably better suited to the 8-12 age range. Along with his detailed step-by-step Pencil Drawings dragons instructions for eleven kinds of dragons, he provides some historical and mythological information about each dragon, including by a nice map showing the geographic locations where stories about them originated. He also supplies a bibliography for further reading.
This ambitious book instructs the reader in Pencil Drawings dragons using several styles of artwork, including a realistic style (as much realism, anyway, as can be expected from a mythological creatures) as well as Mayan, Thai, and Chinese styles of representation. For budding artists or dragon aficiandos, this is an excellent book for fanning the flame.By Shanna A. Gonzalez
I recently purchased a number of "how to" Pencil Drawings dragons books, for myself and a couple to give to my kid nephew. Of the wide assortment of styles and instructions and subject matter, Ralph Masiello's books are a personal favorite. At this point, I have no aspirations (nor talent, I think) for producing fine art. Masiello's step-by-step, line by line illustrations allowed this very impatient student to accomplish an actual image right away. His demonstrations allow the individual to see where to start a drawing and how the image comes together. Once practiced and confident in my improved skills, I was able to apply what I learned to creating the creatures in different poses and create scenes of my own imagination -- not just pen or pencil, but embroidery, mixed media, etc.... anything a crafter can dream up using materials on hand.

Our family decided to choose a skill to work on for 30 days and then show each other what we had accomplished. My 9-year-old daughter chose Drawings dragons and she loves dragons. This book was perfect and she began practicing the day we received it. The pictures are a little above her drawing level, but the directions and descriptions are such that she did not need assistance. Her drawing had improved and we have displayed many of her Pencil Drawings dragons . By A. Wiggins
My 5 year old son grabbed this book at the library because he loves dragons. I thought it was too old for him, but he started drawing and was making fantastic dragons right away. What a difference from his regular drawings! I had no idea that he was all that interested in art until he got this book. He loves following the directions and was very proud of his work.

Customer Reviews -The Art of How to Train Your Dragon pencil drawings
I can't believe my eyes when I saw this Dragon drawings books on the shelf at a local bookshop, two months earlier than its scheduled release date.
Flipped a few pages, and saw the unique style of Nicolas Marlet, flipped back to the cover and found that Tracy Miller-Zarneke is the author and the movie's from Dreamworks. Those three names instantly reminded me of quality art book The Art of Kung Fu Panda. I'm glad to say that this book is as good and fun. By the way, Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois are the famed directors here.
Inside the book are more than 350 development artwork, including early character designs, story sketches, and concept paintings. The books is divided into three parts, the Dragon drawings , vikings and the environment with stuff like props and houses. Discarded art and characters are also included, like Hiccup's mother - who can cook a mean dish with dragon meat. Accompanying the art are plenty of interesting quotes and commentary from the production staff.
Nicolas Marlet and Simon Otto seem to be the lead character designers responsible for the concept art of the dragons and vikings, although a good amount of designs are actually from Nicolas Marlet. There's a wide range of wackiness and creativity to the drawings. The character digital paintings Dragon drawings are great and the colours are really beautiful, kudos to Zhaoping Wei.
The environment paintings from Pierre-Olivier Vincent, art director, are beautiful. This guy really knows how to draw scenic yet precarious backgrounds like sloping hilltops, snow-capped sea arches and Dragon island which is like an ice-cream cone with molten lava as topping. Not only that, his tranquil pieces are also spectacular, National Geographic-spectacular. He has created places you want to visit but probably not because one wrong step and you'll roll down the hill.There are even a few Pencil Drawings dragons illustrations from Dominique Louis, who did some pastel concept art for Pixar. His using digital pastels now and there's no difference from his traditional work, I'm glad to say. The fun and stylised houses, statues, weapons, boats and other props are from Kirsten Kawamura and Mel Zwyer.
It's a fantastic Pencil Digital Drawings dragons book showing the creative prowess of amazing artists. Highly recommended. By ParkaI was a little dissapointed with this book. The Artwork is fantastic, but the edition of the book is not as good.
First thing I saw was the quality of the paper,the weight is very poor compared to books like this, any other of "the art of" is quite better. It has 160 pages and is 1/3 slimmer than "The art of Up" for example.
And the edition: the order of the different sections, the composition of the images, the typography is a mess!. There are just a few sketches of night fury dragon, one of the main characters in the film, and it seems like they had to enlarge the images so much (one image per page) to fill all the space, really bad. And, I say again, it's really dissapointing to share on that way such fantastic Pencil Digital Drawings dragons Artwork. By Cit
This is one of my very favorite Art of titles...right up there with Art of Monsters Inc, and for the same reasons. The Art of How to Train Your Dragon is chock-full of concept artwork, and the only reproductions of movie stills are from a chapter appropriately titled Layout, Cinematography 3D. So for those of you looking for concept work, this is the book for you. I would say it's as good as The Pencil Digital Drawings dragons Art of Monsters Inc .but the range of medium and style is not as broad in The Art of How to Train Your Dragon. An excellent title nonetheless. By Stop Motion Maniac

Customer Reviews Drawing Book
I love this book and have been using it often. I only gave it a 4 as it seems to jump so quickly from easy to hard in the exercises, but that is my only criticism. This is an excellent book with a large variety of lessons to choose from. I just thought it would go a bit slower for the new artist, so I am supplementing with other art tutorials to get more practice with the basics. But the exercises are very inticing and I am looking forward to doing more of them. By L. Anderson
I purchased this book on a whim at my local art store. Having gained curiosity into what else is out there I found myself with mixed thoughts on the reviews of this book, some saying that the person they bought it for liked it, others claiming that it's pedantic or insulting, etc., so I thought I would offer a review as one for whom this book claims to be written. This book, subtitled "Project drawings book for Beginners" is me. I am a true beginner. I'm the guy that is content with being able to draw not just stick figures, but gender-appropriate stick figures (the triangle for the dress!). I'm the guy that looks at all those "real" artists saying "wow" as they draw something with distressingly impressive ease. For me, the difference between a kneaded eraser and silly putty is that a kneaded eraser does not make imprints nearly as well as silly putty. I have never taken an art class nor have I spent years just drawing whatever I see (though I do admit to some impressive doodles over the years!).
So what this book has to offer:
A decent intro for the concept of starting tools. Being published by Reeves, it should be no surprise that they recommend Reeves supplies, but I assure you that I have seen far worse by way of shameless promotions - The book on Colored Pencils by Veronica Winters, I hope she received a lifetime of free Prismacolor supplies for all the advertising she did for them!By K. Malley
This book has many good sketching examples and ideas. Their methods are helpful, too. (I'm always looking at different ways to take a run at a challenge!) There is a certain familiarity to the style and viewpoint to the drawings. What a contrast to the Betty Edwards' "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" books, as the emphasis here seems to be on the object drawings book, whereas in Ms. Edwards' lessons the results seem to be more about the setting for the object (cat; car; truck; dog; face; full-figure). By this I do not mean one way is 'better' than the other, just that there are differences. As I say, always good to look at alternative methods and results. By

Customer Reviews Drawings Book
I discovered this unassuming volume after buying four other drawing books and looking through about fifty more. While finding a lot of good things in the other books, none of them had what I was looking for in a beginner's guide - a solid step-by-step foundation course starting from square one. Too many drawing books, I learned, either turned into art displays - filled with beautifully rendered drawings and too little instruction, focused too much on certain aspects of drawing at the exclusion of others, or were poorly organized with a vague sense of direction. What I wanted was a solid stone on which to build my drawing and (eventually) painting skills...and I found it!
Where Mr. and Mrs. Willenbrink have succeeded so magnificently is in both the completeness and organization of their material. They assume nothing while providing valuable insight on every page. Their goal is to get you drawing - quickly and correctly. Not a word is wasted on lofty theories and no drawings are displayed without full and easy-to-follow instructions on how they were created. This is a Drawings Book that will teach you how to walk before trying to teach you how to run.
Drawings Book six chapters are laid out clearly and logically, starting with how to hold the pencil and a great overview of sketch types. From there the chapters cover basic shapes, measurement and perspective, value, and composition, with over 25 step-by-step practice drawings to apply what has been discussed.
I could not find a better presentation of this material in any other Drawings Book. If you dream of being an artist and don't know where to begin...start here! By R. P. Jones
I like this book quite a lot. I got it as a review of basic drawing principles I learned in college, and for this it is really useful. It reviews much of what I learned in the first four art classes I had, explaining tools, going over basic skills like how to hold a pencil for different effects, creating value cards, and starting out with the basic shapes of an item and working towards the details. I'd forgotten many pointers my profs had shared that are repeated here, like how to use a sighting stick and what the basic proportions are for the human face and body. The demos/how-to's also cover a good range, including human and animal portraits, buildings, cars, a fruit still life, and a couple landscapes.
While I have never been a "natural" in terms of drawing, I have had 7 college drawing courses and three adult-ed classes at an art center in the last few years. This is to say, while this book is actually perfect for me, providing meaningful instruction and review at my present (still beginner) level, I think I would have been very upset and overwhelmed with it had I gotten it a few years ago, before taking any of the aforementioned classes. Likewise, you will notice that many of the other reviewers who got the most out of the book actually have some drawing background. The discussion of perspective is a great review, for example, but had this been my first introduction to perspective, I would have been completely lost, as the discussion is more an overview of the concept than the step-by-step tutorial that a real "absolute beginner" needs to follow. By Anne-Marie Gallagher
This book is one of four instructional drawing books which I bought to try to get myself back into sketching and drawing, an activity which I enjoyed in my youth. Besides the "Absolute Beginner" book, I got the "Absolute and Utter Beginner", "Drawing with Children" (Mona Brookes) plus one about drawing faces. As you can see, I decided to go "all the way back" and get a good foundation to the craft. I draw nearly every day now, doing up to seven sketches or studies. My fat little sketchbook is half full now with studies from the "Face Book", still life pictures I've done of stuff in my room, and many drawings from the Willenbrink book. I dove right into this book and have been mostly pleased with it.
The book starts begins with a list of basic tools and supplies. It fits the bill for those who are looking for a guide to strictly pencil drawings (not colored ones, charcoal or ink or pastels: I'll do that later), and requires few supplies. Hobby Lobby had some small kits with most of the stuff in them: various pencils---from soft to hard, a little sharpener, plus a sandpaper pad to put a fine point on your pencil, and two kinds of erasers. Besides that you need sketchbook(s), a nice drawing board, and some drafting-type tools---an "eraser shield", folding ruler, triangle, t-square, and "dividers". Be sure to pick up a spray-can of fixative so that your drawings don't get all smudged onto the pages of your book, and pick up a hem-gauge from a fabric store.
Chapter One which introduces Sketching and Drawing was very helpful to get me thinking about art and "seeing" with artist eyes. In fact, I would like to have spent more time on these exercises and others ones like that By K. Draper

Tim Burton Drawing Customer ReviewsTim Burton Drawing an obsession for you? Then, of course you need to have his art book collections. There is just no choice in the matter. I love the illustrations. They help inspire me to sketch when I may not be in the mood. Tim Burton just puts his ideas on paper and doesn't worry about being perfect. That is part of his allure, I think. They are so creative and darkly whimsical and wonderful. I love any book of Tim Burton's illustrations. They remind me as an aspiring artist that perfection does not equal success. And his success is extreme.very Nice Drawing by Tim Burton
By Jackie Barton
Love this Tim Burton Drawing . I have been a fan of Tim Burton every since I was a kid and I watched The Nightmare Before Christmas. I am an artist myself and Tim Burton is my greatest inspiration and love all of his work. This book provides not only a good look into how Tim works but also as more inspiring work to look at.

Honestly I didn't buy this sketch pad off of Amazon. I bought the one I
have from an art supply store, I could have saved some money but it was
worth what I ended up paying. The size is perfect if you, like me take
your sketch book with you where ever you go. I wish I had found this
one first since it is made from recycled paper. There's plenty of
pages. I think it would make a wonderful, inexpensive gift for
yourself or anyone.

I like this drawing book. I bought two because the price was excellent but the
shipping was too much. Plus side: I got the books in less than a week.
Ink doesn't bleed onto the next sheet and the pages are smooth but have the right amount of texture that I was looking for.
Will order the larger size next.

He's gone sketching almost immediately. As with
his wife, they both now have their quiet times with what they enjoy the
most; with his eyes looking at this handy little durable sketch pad (it
is perforated so you can tear your work out from the sketch book if
necessary) but little did he realize what else was coming up next, the
artist's dream - the whole set of pencils to charcoals plus erasers
galore. Just like his mom had used; wasted not a minute to say Thanks
Mom! and got busy right away!
The drawing book is top quality, non-glare, medium weight (from my standards of paper grading), has some texture to the paper itself; so it is not 100% smooth, which is good - prevents slippage and reducing errors as well as excessive erasures. This book is durable for usage of India Ink, for those who wants to practice with calligraphy or artwork with India Ink - I would recommend this after a sketch outlining has been done. For I have tested a sheet after asking my son, to see how it holds up from fine tip to wide (or broad tip) pens (India Ink) and it did pretty well with minimal bleeding so I would recommend a placard or a small smooth wood board if one opt for this. I tried using this with water color (after India Ink dried); to my surprise, it held up pretty good for a miniature canvas if carefully taken apart from the sketchbook.
I found this to be impressive because of the quality of paper and grade, it is multipurpose; already aware it can handle pastels, crayons, pencils, coloring pens,
