If you want to draw zombies, vampires, werewolves, ghosts or goblins but never known how to do so - this is the book for you. Full of easy to follow steps and guidelines, it shows how to a variety of characters.
It covers all the basic building blocks such as tools and composition. A variety of mediums and techniques are discussed and there are many many unusual tips such as sharpening a chopstick with a pencil sharpener, then dipping it in ink to get even finer ink dot tones!

A good basic reference tool.
