Monsters are an indispensable element in RPGs, card games, and more.
While they've become familiar, many people struggle with ideas when it actually comes to drawing them.
This book is a making-of guide that explains "how to know and draw monsters" with newly drawn illustrations by special effects designers and popular artists.
It covers monster ecology, structures like bones, claws, and wings, basic illustration techniques, and how to apply effects using Photoshop.
This is a highly anticipated book for those who want to start drawing monster illustrations, or for those who can already draw them but want to improve. It clearly teaches the tips for bringing out the "monster-like" quality.
It will also be useful for those who want to broaden their range of work or connect their art to professional opportunities.
