Description: The Art of Drawing Dragons : Easy-to-follow instructions for drawing a variety of creatures, from an Eastern dragon to a hairy troll The ever-increasing popularity of mythological and fantasy creatures in film, graphic novels, and television creates high demand for instruction books on drawing these fantastic beasts. In this newest addition to our Collector's series, aspiring artists will find 144 pages of clear, step-by-step instructions for drawing everything from fire-breathing dragons to seven-headed monsters and magical fairies. Information on the origin and history of mythological creatures gives this book an extra-special appeal. The author's helpful tips on shading and drawing techniques show readers everything they need to know to create their own impressive beasts. Although there are fantasy-themed drawing books on the market, this book is unique because it features a wide range of fantasy subjects rather than focusing on only one type of creature (such as dragons or fairies). It also sets itself apart from similar books with its helpful information on combining graphite pencil with other media, such as charcoal and black watercolor paint or ink. In addition, this extraordinary book features dragons and other mythological creatures from around the world, including those originating in Egyptian, Irish, Norse, and Greek mythology-whereas most other fantasy books include generic, non-regional subjects. The Rise of the Dragon is a deluxe reference book about the history of House Targaryen. The book features over 180 completely new illustrations. The book covers the same material as the first volume of Fire & Blood, but is rewritten in a more encyclopedic style, similar to The World of Ice & Fire. For readers familiar with Fire & Blood, The Rise of the Dragon is primarily an art book.[3] However, there will be some new visual details that will be part of the canon, such as the colors of all Targaryen dragons.[4] Preface The Conquest The Seven Kingdoms The Stormlands The Kingdom of the Isles and the Rivers The Reach The Westerlands The Vale The North Dorne The Arrival of the Targaryens Aegon's Landing and Conquest The Reign of Aegon I The Dragon's Wars The Dragon's Governance The Dragon's Kin The Reign of Aenys I Ascension and Rebellion Royal Tensions The Reign of Maegor I Bloody Coronation War with the Faith Militant Death in the Royal House The Black Brides The Reign of Jaehaerys I The Regency The Early Reign The King's Works The Later Reign The Reign of Viserys I Apex of Power The Seeds of War The Reign of Aegon II The Dance of the Dragons The Death of Dragons The Regency of Aegon III The Council of Regents War and Peace Conspiracies
