Think dinosaurs are kid stuff? Think again. Remember Walking with Dinosaurs, The Lost World and Jurassic Park? Everyone is fascinated with dinosaurs - and the more realistic, the better. Here at last is a dinosaur drawing book for adults, focusing on anatomy and encompassing the latest scientific research to show serious artists exactly how to draw the most realistic and compelling dinosaurs possible. THUNDER LIZARDS, the third instalment in the Fantastic Fantasy Characters series covers everything from the terrifying Tyrannosaurus Rex, to mega-dinosaur Argentinosaurus, to wiry Velociraptors, to plodding Apatosaurus. More than 50 dinosaurs in all including avian and aquatic kinds are illustrated in this book. Miller also adds tips on drawing dynamic dinosaur sequences. So many dinosaurs in one complete drawing book? It's dino-mite!

Fantastic!,
This review is from: Thunder Lizards!: How to Draw Fantastic Dinosaurs (Fantastic Fantasy Comics) (Paperback)
What a wonderful book. This covers all types of dinosaurs from T-Rexes to flying bird dinosaurs. Hundreds of great drawings throughout. I can't draw but I still enjoyed looking at it and my ten year old son will not put the thing down. He was allowed to take one book on our vacation and he chose this one. I don't think he put it down for the whole 6 hour drive to Disneyland. There are some technical drawings of skeletons and muscles and stuff I don't think he understands yet, but the how to steps are easy enough for him to follow. Highly recommended if you have a dinosaur lover or artist in the family.

The best book on the subject yet!,

This review is from: Thunder Lizards!: How to Draw Fantastic Dinosaurs (Fantastic Fantasy Comics) (Paperback)
You may think me biased, since some of my reconstructions where used in the book, but I did not write any of it (and I don't recieve royalties based on sales). While there are a few nit-picky details I would change, this is easily the best book on how to draw dinosaurs ever made. It is the only one where the reader is given a short anatomy lesson, and shown skeletal reconstructions so artists can learn how to reconstruct extinct animals themselves. It also shows off the remarkable diversity of dinosaurs to good advantage. Highly recomended.

superb drawing book,
This review is from: Thunder Lizards!: How to Draw Fantastic Dinosaurs (Fantastic Fantasy Comics) (Paperback)
This is probably the best book on drawing dinosaurs out there, especially for adults. There isn't just one artist's dinosaurs pictured into this "how-to" book, but artwork from Brett Booth and Bryan Baugh as well. Many dinosaurs are featured in here, including Triceratops, Spinosaurs, Therizinosaurus, Chirostenotes, Saltasaurus, and dozens more. Generally depending on which dinosaur you are drawing, it can take you between 1-4 steps to complete your picture. Also, there is information for each dinosaur you draw, which makes it all the more interesting. The artwork is very detailed and sleek. Excellent for any beginner or if you're just trying to brush up on your skills.
