review:
'Drawing Dark Fantasy: Creating Monsters, Madness, and All Manner of Nightmarish Imagery' by Steve Beaumont is an art instruction book with a bunch of darker projects.

The first part of the book discusses the tools and techniques of drawing. There are chapters on figure drawing, perspective, and lighting. The second half of the book has a number of projects that will guid the artist through drawing monsters like kraken, werewolves and dragons. The exercises go from sketching ideas to finished lighting and coloring.

This artist is really good at what he does, and it's a pleasure to learn from someone of this skill. The illustrations are great throughout the book and the exercises seem possible when broken down like they are.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Dover Publications and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
