I received the book yesterday and drew my first dragon last night. Granted it was just the head and neck, but I barely have any drawling talent. Very detailed step-by-step pictures from start to finish... Looking forward to drawling the complete body.
FYI: Buy good pencils, like Sandra recommends.

Got this for an 11 year old's birthday. My 10 year old who gave it as a gift now wants one. It breaks the drawings down into manageable parts. The birthday girl already had a pretty good dragon drawn by the next day using the book's design. It offers multiple claw shapes, wings, heads, and tails, so you can mix and match.

This book has a lot of text with tips that feels like you are listening to the artist teach a class on drawing dragons, and less actual step by step breakdowns on each technique. I am a complete newbie to drawing animals of any kind and am finding it a little tough to start with the initial body positioning without those types of detailed instructions, however the book is full of many ideas for inspiration on the details and different possible types of dragons. Definitely worth the money, honestly I would have paid more for it. There are enough drawings, even some full color pages that it is satisfying just to flip through pages without reading and be inspired.

Love this book. Great for anybody who wants to get into drawing in the fairy/fantasy world. Great for beginners and up and has includes more than dragons. I will use this book many many times and share it with my fellow artists.

I bought this for woodburning. Almost, but not quite. Most of the figures are much smaller than I thought, and it is really aimed at the colored pencil artist.
If you are buying this because your media is colored pencils, pretty much right on. Any other medium, you might want to look elsewhere.
Also, the book is older, over ten years now.

Bought this for my 9-yr old who loves dragons and he immediately took to it! This was his first try. He was busy with this book for hours and has come back to it almost daily since. He is getting better and better and this book is really just fantastic for beginner-intermediate artists. I'll come back with new pictures later so you could see the advancement.

I doubt there's anyone out there who can hold a pencil who won't be able to draw their very own dragon with this book. I got it to show me how to draw them for a wall mural I'm making in my home, and I was quite happy with it. It shows how to draw each individual component of the dragon anatomy as well as the cohesive whole, and it's got a friendly tone to the instructional writing that keeps it from being dry. I really am enjoying it.

This book is very thorough on how to draw dragons. It starts you out with basic steps that give you a rough shape to start with, and gradually builds the dragon from there. It also gives detail on drawing dragon body parts, so nothing is left out. Although there are some color pictures in the middle part of the book, it's mainly about making pencil sketches. But to draw and paint dragons, you HAVE TO draw them in pencil first, unless you're a pro with 15-20 years experience. I had no previous experience drawing or painting dragons, so this was exactly what I needed to get started. (I have experience painting acrylics, but not much in pencil.) My first dragon sketch, which I finished today, kicks some butt! If you could see it, you'd know it testifies to the value of the book!

Dragons!! I wish I could draw as well as these too..

Bought this as a gift for a friend of mine, who like drawing and dragons. She loved it, but I haven't seen so many drawings of dragons from her yet - so I don't know if she told the truth, or if she found the drawing itself to be a bit difficult. Nice book though.

A nice tutorial book. I miss the tips for coloring a bit and the dragons are not as realistic looking as other drawings I have seen. But it is a nice book for the beginner.

Great book
Reviewed in Canada on June 10, 2020Verified Purchase
Got it for my great niece. It’s a wonderful step by step guide for drawing magical dragons. She loves it and has filled a sketch book with her creations. It has detailed steps showing how to draw each part of a dragon’s anatomy in side, front and three-quarter face. Truly excellent book for beginners and experienced artists alike.
