About the Book

Vampires have become a hugely popular subject for followers of fantasy art everywhere. This book shows both beginners and more experienced artists how to create spine-chilling works designed for maximum impact, featuring vampires, their hapless victims, companions, and associated gothic folklore. Inside you will find all the art techniques you need to create a wide range of vampire and gothic-style works, as well as tips and tricks to get your imagination working overtime. The author's directory of vampires and other gothic characters from their worlds includes constructional drawings, close-up details, and instruction in special effects, with characters drawn in a number of different art styles including those with a manga influence.

About the Author :
Ian Daniels has been a professional painter and illustrator since 1995. Working from a studio overlooking his garden in historic, mystical Kent, Ian draws inspiration from nature and our connection to it. Folktales, myths and emotions, celtic art and culture, and modern media are all explored in his work. Ian's work has been exhibited in galleries across the country. He has successfully created book covers, illustrated books, art cards and prints using a variety of artistic mediums.

Review :
This isn't just a book about painting vampires but a complete art course covering materials, supports and brushes. Ian gives us advice on all types of mediums from pencils, inks and pens to watercolours, acrylics and oils. There's even a section on using digital media to colour what you've created - something several new supernatural and fantasy books seem to be doing and one that's very useful. There information on basic techniques such as perspective and composition and suggestions as to where to gather inspiration. The vampires themselves are covered in great detail with Ian showing us how to take basic human anatomy and tailor it to the type of vampire you want to create. A vampire isn't just a vampire but can be male, female, Gothic, classic, demon, phantom - seems the types are only as limited as your imagination and Ian's tools will allow you let let it have free rein and create just what you want. Of course all vampires need the correct setting - you wouldn't place a Gothic vampire n a suburban bungalow would you ( of course there's no reason why you couldn't but it would look better in the correct Gothic style castle wouldn't it?) along with the buildings Ian shows us how to create atmosphere by way of lighting and weather situations such as storms and mist - and traditional vampire accoutrements such as tombs, graveyards and ruins. A fantastic book for fantasy lovers - this book really does cover all angles and does what it says - a complete art course.-JeannieZelos.com
