Description

Visual development studies of iconic dragons from Disney's back catalogue as well as upcoming blockbusters. Imagine if one sketchbook had been passed down through the decades from one Disney artist to the next, with each one making a contribution before leaving it in the talented hands of another. That idea was the inspiration for The Art of Disney's Dragons. The drawings contained within this volume represent the entire range of dragon-themed development art from animators, live-action studio artists and Imagineers.
