Its a fantasy lovers fantasy, all between the covers of one fantastic book: Astonishing Fantasy Worlds. Book News Annotation:Wizards' robes are surprisingly complex, as are the weapons of
ghouls, yet master illustrator Hart makes them manageable, that is,
if you have the talent, imagination and courage. Packed with
creatures, this guide takes users from rough geometric shapes to
finished barbarians, Vikings and fairies, with Hart explaining each
step and its rationale. He works from relatively simple human figures
in appropriate costume to beastly hybrids, ferocious wild things,
imaginary forms within medieval contexts, and the full range of
gothic beings, from slaves to warriors. Along with his practical
advice on figures Hart touches upon where to find examples of armor
and weapons, how to pose figures to their best advantage, and how to
avoid what everyone else has done. Even those who have no hope of
actually drawing the figures will enjoy the illustrations and the
explanations of how they emerged from Hart's pen.
