Summary
Have you ever watched a TV show or movie and wished you could sketch out one of these scary monsters on paper?
Have you ever wanted to turn that art into something more?
Cryptids are animals whose legends are spread far and wide at slumber parties, sleepaway campfires, or on internet webpages you stumble across at 2 a.m. Their existence has never been confirmed by science but that doesn’t make them any less fascinating! In Cryptid Creatures, learn how to draw 35 different types of cryptids from all around the world and pick up a thing or two about their origins as well.
For artists of all skill levels, this step-by-step drawing book will show you how to sketch basic shapes and forms as well as use shading techniques to help your drawings come alive. Learn to draw such creatures as:
- Bigfoot, aka Sasquatch, the iconic cryptid said to inhabit the Pacific Northwest of North America
- The Loch Ness Monster, the underwater sea creature said to lurk in the depths of Scotland’s Loch Ness. Affectionately known as Nessie.
- The Mongolian Death Worm, a gigantic worm that allegedly lives in the most remote reaches of the Gobi Desert. Probably wants a friend.
- The Bunyip, a creature of ambiguous description stated to haunt bodies of water in Australia.
- Mothman, the classic harbinger of doom.
- . . . And more!
On Today's Show, Ballyraven tells us how to go about drawing some of these scary beasts! She also tells us about some of the lore behind them! And, about her experiences at the Mothman Festival, her podcast, and much much more!Â
