Fantastical Creatures Field Guide by Aaron Lopresti
Come. Enter the world of fantasy. Bring paper, pencils and a field guide to identifying the denizens of this mysterious world. And there is no better field guide than the "Fantastical Creatures Field Guide". Author and artist Aaron Lopresti leads you on the daring hunt for the Utah salt beast...the Dragosaur...and, of course, the mad men of Borneo. Each one shows how an artist can take a natural form - mud, twisted vines, animal shapes - and turn them into fabulous monsters. Pencil sketches drawn in the field, plus full body water-colour paintings of the beasts, cast a spell that draws the reader into this strange new land. Step-by-step instructions, explaining exactly how to 'capture' fantastic creatures with a pencil, reveal Lopresti's creative process and inspire readers to explore new realms for themselves.
Aaron Lopresti has worked on many major titles in comics, including X-Men, Gen13, Xena, Spider-Man and more. He has also published two fantasy art portfolios and several limited-edition full-colour prints.
