This book is the ultimate guide for any paper mache student looking to create realistic dragons. His methods could also be used on several different pieces - not just dragons.

I had little interest in paper mâché before I discovered Dan Reeder’s approach to it. The instructions in his books are both helpful and encouraging, keeping you going forward as you learn the techniques. Dan provides both guidance and support for letting your intuition shape your craft, and shows you how that is more important than just trying to replicate others’ designs. I can also tell the dragons love being portrayed by Dan, for respecting the beauty of each one as a unique creature.

THIS is what a how-to book should be! The author provides excellent detail, hitting points most books gloss over and expect you to figure out magically on your own. He balances it really well with images, so the book is super readable and easy to follow.

Dan gives step by wonderful step in a wonderfully witty way. He also cautions on what not to do so you don't make mistakes. This is a fabulous book with illustrations that make it suitable for all ages.

J'ai adoré ce livre et je vais dans les semaines qui viennent essayé de faire mon premier dragon en papier mâché. Le livre est très bien illustré et tout et bien expliqué et détaillé. Bien que regarder quelques vidéos de l'auteur soit un plus. Par contre contrairement à d'autres je pense qu'il faut être capable de lire un minimum en anglais pour bien tout comprendre. Je conseille vivement ce livre, écrit par un passionné qui à de plus pas mal d'humour au second degré.

Don't be put off by the size of this book. It doesn't have a lot of pages but the pages it does have are packed with photos and easy to understand details on how to create a dragon of your own. If you are wanting to make one of Dan Reeder's dragons this is a must have. If you just want to make some amazing paper mache sculptures and are a beginner, this is a must have!

At first I questioned whether or not I should buy this, because his blog and youtube videos already provide so much information. I decided to buy it regardless to support Dan and thank him for providing us with instructions on how to create this art. Now that I have it, I'm more than happy I bought it. It has the little details I questioned when reading his blog posts and youtube videos. Even if you think you know how to make it from the free information provided online, you should buy this book to thank him for teaching you!Thank you so much Dan!

Un libro excepcional, con un paso a paso estupendo.Lo que es como libro objeto, bueno, pues la edición deja un poquito que desear, pero da igual que los títulos superiores salgan medio cortados: lo que es el contenido está intacto, y es una gozada.Lo recomiendo vivamente a todos los escultores y aprendices de tal, y a cualquier aficionado a la fantasía con vocación para hágalo-usted-mismo.

I was so excited to learn Dan Reeder had written another book. I own all of Dan's books, and use them frequently for reference during my own creative process.Have you ever purchased an art book that you hoped would give you instructions on how create the way the artist does, only to find the book is just ego-stroking for the artist and of very little use to you? Well, that won't happen with this book, or any of Dan Reeder's books, for that matter. Dan is a very generous artist. He has a strong online presence, and shares his techniques, tips, and clever sense of humor freely.This book shows you step-by-step, from start to finish, how to create two magnificent dragon art pieces: the cover dragon and a dragon head trophy. Dan's instructions are clear and concise. He's elaborated on many points from the book's previous version. He encourages you along the way to create your own piece of art, and to not worry about it looking like his. He also keeps you entertained by tucking away little hidden gems of humor (how DID Riley get in the bathtub?). He tells you where you may become frustrated--such as with the application of a gazillion scales--but, encourages you to stick with it because the end result will be so worth it.This book, like Dan's other books, is a gem. An indispensable addition to your artistic library. It is as visually appealing as it is informative. Buy the book, make a dragon, hang it in your house, impress yourself, your friends, and family with your talent. And, don't forget to tell them Dan showed you how.
