How to Draw Chiller Monsters, Werewolves, Vampires, and Zombies - David Spurlock

I came across this book accidentally in the library, picked it up because it looked interesting. And it is. Don't count on this being too much an instructional book, but more of highlights and best examples kind of advice. The illustrations are gorgeous, the comments are typically specific to the illustration pointing out the finer details to expand ones horizons on drawing. The range goes from the first drawn monsters with EC comics to today's contemporary artists. Chapters split up by Frankenstein, Werewolf, etc with additional chapters on technique. There is not a lot of words here that go on and on. I imagine someone can read the entire book in about an hour.

Although the course is dated by today's standards as far as style, this was the crème de la crème course back in the day and it still has a lot of valuable information for those looking to get serious about their art. As for me, right now I'm reading Lettering, which explains why I'm focused a lot on Fonts at the moment.
