An award-winning fantasy artist and the creator of "Dinotopia,"
James Gurney instructs and inspires in "Imaginative Realism: How to
Paint What Doesn't Exist." Renowned for his uncanny ability to
incorporate amazing detail and imagination into stunningly
realistic fantasy settings, James Gurney teaches budding artists
and fans of fantasy art step-by-step the techniques that won him
worldwide critical acclaim. This groundbreaking work examines the
practical methods for creating believable pictures of imaginary
subjects, such as dinosaurs, ancient Romans, alien creatures, and
distant worlds.
Beginning with a survey of imaginative paintings from the
Renaissance to the golden Age of American illustration, the book
then goes on to explain not just techniques like sketching and
composition, but also the fundamentals of believable world building
including archaeology, architecture, anatomy for creatures and
aliens, and fantastic engineering. It concludes with details and
valuable advice on careers in fantasy illustration, including video
game and film concept art and toy design.
More than an instruction book, this is the ultimate reference for
fans of science fiction and fantasy illustration.

realms." --Frank M. Costantino, ASAI, SI, FSAI, JARA, cofounder,
