Devoted to the serious depictions of anthropomorphic characters, Freaks! covers the entire range of animal people and explores all its possibilities. Hundreds of illustrations depict subjects that include basic human and animal anatomies, cat people, dog people, wolf people, feathered freaks, bat people, reptilian creatures, predators of the deep, primates, insect people, elephant man, rhino man, hippo lady, and much more. This drawing guide demonstrates the wide range of this popular genre of illustrative art and the techniques needed to create these fantastic fantasy creatures. Artists will find inspiration for creating such characters as creatures from Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, A. A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh, C. S. Lewis' Narnia Chronicles, or the characters from Planet of the Apes and Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Freak'n Fantastic,
By Don Cruz "Donny" (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Freaks!: How to Draw Fantastic Fantasy Creatures (Fantastic Fantasy Comics) (Paperback)
What a great book! I do furry art and needed some pointers on how to draw animal people forms. This is the only book I've ever seen that explains how to do it. Easy and precise instructions on all types of animal people, cats, dogs, turtles, bears, etc. You name it, it is in here. It teaches anatomy and really helped me with animal type legs with three joints. I like Steve's art, but Brett Booth is the master! Book was worth it just to stare at his fabulous characters. Please, please, please, do another book just like this one, but with more cartoon furry type art.

Animal People Fun,
By A Customer
This review is from: Freaks!: How to Draw Fantastic Fantasy Creatures (Fantastic Fantasy Comics) (Paperback)
I bought this book for my 12 year old son because he loves to draw comic book and video game characters. I was surprised at how well his drawings improved by just using some of the simple advice from the author. It is neat to see him come home from school and go into his room to draw instead of immediately turning on the tv or a video game.

Freak-a-Deaky,
By A Customer
This review is from: Freaks!: How to Draw Fantastic Fantasy Creatures (Fantastic Fantasy Comics) (Paperback)
Great Book! The title is a little misleading, Fantasy makes me think of Hobbits and Trolls, but this book is all about Animal People or Animorphs. Great art, great instructions, and helpful advice.
