This is a great art book for children, which shows how to draw dragons. The book is very beautiful to look at, and it shows art tips and techniques, how to work with shapes, and different art tools you will need to create your dragons.

I found the book very interesting and useful, however my daughter was a little bit scared of the dragons. She preferred the cat book and the sea creatures book. I really liked the dragon book as it had so much details in it, and a lot of work has gone into creating the book. Highly recommended!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

This book has really come in handy with the art class I teach. There are so many great ideas in here and wonderful tips and advice. Highly recommend!

Full review will be posted soonish and I'll add links to blog as well.

I would like to thank the publisher and netgalley for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review.

My 9 year old niece has been obsessed with learning to draw and these books were perfect for her! Dragons are her favorite animal right now and I loved being able to draw the different ones with her. I especially appreciated the tips and tricks offered to new and experienced artists. I loved the variety given to draw, and there's something for everyone, no matter what your drawing experience.

I was granted complimentary access to Let's Draw Dragons via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for the opportunity! My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.

Let's Draw Dragons is a well-rounded drawing instruction book that starts by introducing the reader to all of the necessary tools, the pros and cons of different types, and how to use them. It then moves on to a brief section on basic animal drawing techniques including shading, musculature, and fur and scale textures. Finally, this book moves on to detailed step-by-step tutorials on 10 different dragons of different types (including a wyvern and a water dragon) and different cultures (including medieval European and traditional Chinese.) These full tutorials are 4 pages long, or 2 full spreads.

The good:
- This book provides a brief but thorough introduction to tools and techniques that will serve as a sufficient starting point to artists with at least some experience in some form of drawing.
- The steps in each dragon tutorial expertly illustrate the groups of shapes used to form the final drawings and how & why they work together.
- The variety of types of dragons is fantastic! This book should provide a good foundation for the inspired fantasy creature artist!

The not so good:
- This book commits the "add details" sin many "how to draw" books commit. Step 11 is a final cleaned-up outline. Step 12 is a fully rendered greyscale illustration. An intermediate finishing step would be nice!
- The starting tutorials before launching into the dragons is insufficient for true beginners.

For the Wings of Fire-crazed readers at my library, this title will make for a wonderful "dragon-themed display." As for the book itself, I suspect some readers may wonder why dragons are drawn differently based on elemental types, given that there are simply drawing directions rather than any written description of the different dragon types. While this book will work for my collection, libraries with other "how to draw dragons" books will be just fine passing this one over.

Very easy to follow instructions on how to draw various dragons (though I'm still rubbish at it). Broken down well as all the best drawing books for kids are, though as with all of these things the end detail always feels more like it's a case of 'practice this 10,000 times to get it anywhere near correct' (which isn't a criticism of the book, just an observation).

This is a good book to learn how to draw dragons. I can't draw but my son loves to, so I plan on getting him this book and some others.

I honestly thought I was going to hate this book. "How can a book teach me how to draw?" was what I asked myself. However, I was pleasantly surprise to see that, if I followed the instructions, I was able to produce some that didn't look a million miles away from the dragon in the picture.
Of course my dragons were nowhere near as good as the ones in the book and that's where the book falls down for me. The drawings come alive in the detail: my proportions were all over the place and a little comment about that would've been handy; how to draw eyes as a separate work-through would've been amazing; a step-by-step chapter on skin would've turned my dodgy deformed dragons into fairytale fire-breathers.
Still, the digital version is fab as you can zoom in to get a clear view of some aspects.

This is the standard old fashioned drawing tutorial book with the shapes given -- first draw a circle and then lines here, and then erase these bits, and then add these bits, and then shade and color. It is in black and white with a variety of poses of dragons to copy. Most of them look similar to me in style other than the Chinese dragon. I was hoping for a bit more variety in styles, but this is good for variety of poses (sleeping, flying, etc.). The book is rather short but it's also inexpensive and should be easy for kids or adults to use successfully.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review.

My 10 year old is an artist who happens to also be obsessed with dragons. They looked at the book with me and was able to follow the instructions quite easily. I would recommend it for this independent artists who are comfortable with multiple steps given at once. The drawings and illustrations are clear to follow and there are also written instructions too. A good guide for drawing dragons in a variety of styles and positions.

Cute, easy to follow, I had fun pulling the ebook on my phone then screen sharing to my TV so my kids could draw with me.

This book highlights the simplistic ways to bring dragons from your imagination, onto a piece of paper. The techniques learned can be used as a basis for watercolor, paint, or simply drawing alone.

My experience with how-to-draw books has always been along the lines of "draw 3 circles. Now draw the rest of the dragon and shade it" - resulting in much frustration and a tendency to distrust other how-t0-draw books.

This book, in contrast, has detailed steps that make sense and actually break down the entire drawing process so I feel like I could actually draw the dragons and have them look like ... well, dragons.

That doesn't sound like much - 'it does what it says on the tin' and all that - but for me it's a revolutionary concept. I'm actually very excited about it because I LOVE dragons but have always had difficulty visualizing them and drawing them.

This book breaks the entire body down into easily managed pieces in a way that makes sense to me. I will most definitely be using it and am looking forward to lots of dragon art in my future.

Lets Draw Dragons is a short step by step guide for beginner artists and children. Perfect for dragon and fantasy art lovers.. There is a wide variety of dragons to draw in different styles and poses. Even though the book is short it is well detailed with information on techniques, tools as well as the drawing instructions. It provides a good starting point for beginners as the projects can be easily adapted or extended as the artist progresses. Overall a very good starter book.
