Warriors and Heroes

This detailed guide shows you how to conceptualise, draw and paint a great selection of warrior hero characters. The projects include all classic male and female warrior archetypes - from Thor, Achilles and Conan to a Ronin Samurai and female Amazon. The first part of the book provides general guidelines on basic concepts and then moves on to detailing art techniques such as rendering combat, armour, weapons and wounds. For example: Use short feathery strokes to draw the muscular shapes around the framework, using the outlines to maintain the correct perspective. This book is filled with Alan Lathwells's high-impact art to create a true celebration of the heroic might of the warrior. (Suitable for all fantasy artists, from young teens up.)
