Heroes of History and Myth

by William C. Potter, Juan Calle (Illustrations)

Most fantasy stories come down to a pivotal battle between good and evil. Which intrepid hero will dare take on the venomous villain? Sometimes, the perfect place to find inspiration for an illustrator's protagonist is history. This volume demonstrates that the past is rife with figures, both historical and mythical, who can serve as muses for a fantasy figure. Fairy queens, samurai, and knights are some of the characters readers will learn to draw through simple instructions accompanied by helpful illustrations. Perspective, 3-D shapes, and color palettes are just some of the essential topics explored that will take young drawers to the next echelon of illustration.
