In this step-by-step guide to drawing all manner of creatures--from the Hydra and the Phoenix to Cerberus and basilisks - in pencil and pen-and-ink, J. C. Amberlyn combines her love of fantasy and mythological storytelling with her beautiful, detailed drawing style and love of all non-human creatures.
