The title might make you believe this is simply a guide for drawing dragons but don't expect to find step-by-step instructions inside. Instead, John Howe describes the techniques he uses and shows sketches and various stages of his works as well as shares where inspiration and ideas can be found. Regardless, this book is just as fascinating to someone who isn't interested in drawing anything themselves at all. No, this is also a book about dragons: the mythological creatures from our distant past as well as the more recent creations found in fantasy literature. We not only get magnificent paintings of Ouroboros and Nidhoggr, Fafnir and Melusine, Icefyre and Smaug and many others, we can also read about those myths and creatures in this book. With a foreword by Guillermo del Toro and contributions by Anne McCaffrey and Robin Hobb, it's difficult to imagine what could possibly be missing from this book.

The entire collection of John Howe's dragon art, created over his 30-year career, is presented in one breathtaking volume. This book offers a personal exploration by John of the inspirations and techniques he uses to render these amazing beasts. Each dragon is gloriously presented on a double page spread; accompanying this is a series of pages where John reveals how he forged each one through working sketches and reference material. From fire dragons erupting from molten depths, through sea dragons churning stormy seas, every medieval, celtic, gothic and sci-fi icon is represented. Fascinating text reveals the myths behind each dragon, as well as an exploration on its render, with full captions, annotations, highlighted details and design elements.
