I found out about this book when I came across her website. Liking what I saw I decided to get her book from my local library ( a definate pattern here ) and was blown away by what she had created in her book. A few months later I now have this book all to myself :D as a birthday presant.

This book, unlike many "how to draw" books, in indefinitely awesome. It's combination of careful diagrams, illustrations an humor has helped me to vastly improve my artwork. This book is well worth the petty sum of money it costs and i advise any budding artist like myself to get a copy ASAP. 5/5 and my compliments to J Peffer for her outstanding work.

I have always been good at copying other peoples dragons, but when it came to creating my own I found it difficult to make them look realistic (as much as you can make something that's fantasy look real).
However, this book is great as it takes you through each stage step by step, allowing you to learn through practice. I am still amazed at how easy it is to create your own realistic dragons, and other mythological creatures, and I now wonder how I ever found it difficult. I guess the old saying is true - "It's easy when you know how!"
I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to get their own fantasy world down on paper. You will want to get the paper and pencils ready before you open the front page!

On of the best books in the current " how to draw" market. I was given it for a late Christmas present and spent half an hour wiht it and was amazed at the results it produced. It has clear, bright, easy to read pictures and is a great success. I was somewhat cautious when I looked at the frontcover, never have previousley had a "How to draw" book that wielded any good results. To be honest, in all modesty I was astounded at what I could do by the end of the book. Even now, after about three years of having it, I still go back to the book again and again. The only down side is that you are influenced somewhat by the artists designs and I find it difficult to construct fantasy creatures such as dragons, phoenixes and unicorns without having the book in front of me. Well worth the money - a great worthwhile buy.

a review by my 14 year old son who recieved this book as a birthday present 6 months ago:
I reckon that was the best drawing book i have ever used! full of nice little tips to encourage you further! if your not a deadly serious artist and a casual scribbler like my instead, its IDEAL! i L O V E it and i fully recommend it to anyone of any ability. It teaches you how to draw Dragons, Asian dragons, Western Dragons, Unicorns, Pegasus, Sea Serpants and even Gargoils! but its mainly on Dragons.Unfortunately, it dosn't contain photos of real dragons or unicorns, lol =D
