The Compendium of Fantasy Art Techniques: The Step-By-Step Guide to Creating Fantasy Worlds, Mystical Characters, and the Creatures of Your Own Worst by Finlay Cowan, Kevin Walker, Rob Alexander

3.0

A really rather gorgeous collection of drawing tips and inspirations for those interested in "fantasy art", divided into sections that include titles such as “Snow and Ice Beasts”. Each section is accompanied by gorgeous photographic spreads with reference ideas, and step-by-step artworks by other fantasy artists. It is also incredibly comprehensive (hinted at in the title, perhaps), covering everything from composition to colouring, anatomy to armour, architecture and landscapes. Definitely making me miss drawing, tempted to pick up a pencil again and see what happens...
