Editorial Review: Book Description: Devoted to the serious depictions of anthropomorphic characters, Freaks! covers the entire range of animal people and explores all its possibilities. Hundreds of illustrations depict subjects that include basic human and animal anatomies, cat people, dog people, wolf people, feathered freaks, bat people, reptilian creatures, predators of the deep, primates, insect people, elephant man, rhino man, hippo lady, and much more. This drawing guide demonstrates the wide range of this popular genre of illustrative art and the techniques needed to create these fantastic fantasy creatures. Artists will find inspiration for creating such characters as creatures from Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, A. A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh, C. S. Lewis' Narnia Chronicles, or the characters from Planet of the Apes and Creature from the Black Lagoon. Contributors Include Brett Booth (Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four), Mitch Byrd (Green Lantern), and Todd Nauck (Teen Titans and Spider-Man) The launch of a new series on drawing fantastic characters and creatures The influx of animal/human characters into popular culture is at an all-time high From the lead designer of Microsoft's X-Box game Monster Truck Mash Average Rating:
 Rating:  - My son loves it!My son enjoys a lot working with the book. There are a lot of tricks that are helpful when you draw your favorite creatures. Rating:  - It's an ok book......But NOT for beginner artists:S The book itself is pretty cool with lots of characters and pretty pictures to look at. That alone, is ALOT of inspiration:) BUT.... And this is the bad part about the book... I'm not learning much from it:( There are very little hints on HOW to actually draw something. I'm not advanced enough for this book as i need step-by-step guides, wich this book does not contain much of. Sadly:( It's probably a really great book for the ... Read More Rating: - Freak'n FantasticWhat a great book! I do furry art and needed some pointers on how to draw animal people forms. This is the only book I've ever seen that explains how to do it. Easy and precise instructions on all types of animal people, cats, dogs, turtles, bears, etc. You name it, it is in here. It teaches anatomy and really helped me with animal type legs with three joints. I like Steve's art, but Brett Booth is the master! Book was worth it just to stare at his fabulous characters. Please, please, please, ... Read More Rating:  - Some good ideas poorly executedWhen I found this book I was overjoyed at its subject matter and I was soon whisked away by the beautiful pencil and colour renderings of the wonderful anthropomorphic folk. However I was soon placed right back down where I had started and I soon realised that this book hadn't in fact taught me anything as a skilled artist. This book has huge potential, the subject has massive scope, but this book doesn't. Its woeful attempt at what should be the biggest part of this book, the anatomy (human ... Read More Rating: - Great idea bookI bought this book and refer to it continually when I need ideas or inspiration. It is not a traditional how to draw book in that there isn't step by step instructions on how to draw each "animal head person" in the book, but guidelines. The expectation, I think, is that the reader will practice putting together the basic shapes and learn from the abundance of illustrations. This would be a good book to pair with another drawing book. A lot of the poses are superhero style. There isn't a huge ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
