My Review
How to Draw your RPG Character is a great book for any RPG fan who would love to learn how to draw their characters. It is simple and easy instructions and nicely illustrated. My only complaint is that it did not include a dragonborn in the pages of how to draw the faces. There is a how to draw a dragonborn full body though. I am taking those instructions to attempt to take it off paper/canvas. I will be using DAS clay to sculpt a dragonborn. The first thing I attempted to draw in this guide was dwarf face.
The book starts off with giving you the basics like what materials you will need, basics of drawing a torso, drawing techniques and adding color. The end of the book has tutorial quick reference guide to help you find that particular thing you are looking for a how to on. There is also an index so you can easily find what page your character is on.
This book is available on Amazon. But I got my copy from Michaels.
