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
