Creating Creatures of Fantasy and Imagination

by Claudia Nice (Author)

Synopsis

Everyday inspirations for painting faeries, elves, dragons and more!
Fantasy continues to be a hot topic and it's not just for kids interested in comics. Many fine artists love mythological creatures like mermaids, centaurs and dragons. With her characteristic friendly instruction, Claudia Nice shows how to create realistic-looking fantasy artwork by transforming everyday images into imaginary creatures - such as a horse into a unicorn or a girl into a pixie - by using exaggeration and expression. These images can be created using a wide variety of mediums, including pen and ink, watercolour and acrylic.
