I beseech you, dear reader, to view and protect the contents of these rare manuscripts with the utmost care. Only a serious student of dragonology with the pure intent to observe and portray dragons in their natural habitat should pick up this volume. Inside are clear art instructions allowing you to create masterpieces featuring dragons in the style of great artists of the past. Also included are detailed field notes revealing the mysterious history, habits, and hideouts of these ancient and powerful beings. Learn about the creative (and defensive) tools and materials you need to master dragon portraiture, and about various dragon species around the world. With this guide, you are privy to secrets regarding a variety of the masters' artistic techniques, including pencil drawing, acrylic and oil. So if you solemnly vow to defend these precious pages against those who would seek out dragons for their own selfish gain, then read on, fearless dragonologist!
