Thank you to everyone who has purchased my book(s)! I really appreciate the support and hope everyone enjoys them!

I have some exciting news for everyone as well- I am currently working on creating a companion sketchbook. The idea is that there will be some new, exclusive content at the beginning of the book, but then the majority of the book will be blank sketchbook pages of good quality, acid and lignin free paper. It currently slated to be released in September 2021.

Thanks and Stay Safe everyone!

_________________________________________________

Sandra Staple was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she now lives with her husband, Jason, daughter, Chloe, and son, Logan. Her mother is a local artist, so Sandra has been drawing and painting since she was a young girl, earning distinctions in English and art in high school.

She graduated from Saint Mary’s University with a major in computing and information systems, and a minor in creative writing. After graduating, Sandra worked as a business and systems analyst for 17 years before deciding to leave the corporate world to focus on her art.

In 2008 Sandra published her first book, "Drawing Dragons" which has been the #1 best seller in the Teen/Mythology section on Amazon.com for two years (2016-2018). This first book is 150 pages long and focuses on drawing in graphite pencil, including steps on shading dragons. It also includes a 16 page color insert done in colored pencil.

In early 2018 Sandra finished her second book, "Drawing Fantastic Dragons" which teaches drawing dragons in colored pencil, including several steps on how to color and finish each tutorial. It is 144 pages and in full color.

Both can be bought as a stand alone book, or as a set, as no artwork was repeated between the two books.

Sandra has also managed a very popular personal web gallery of her art since university, at www.canadiandragon.com.

When not drawing or spending time with her family and friends, Sandra can usually be found working in her gardens or elbow deep in her fish tank.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun sketchbook on its own, or as a companion to Drawing Dragons or Drawing Fantastic Dragons
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2021
Hello! I am the author of this sketchbook and just wanted to share some information regarding it!

It is an 8 1/2 x 11 sketchbook with a content section in the front, and about 45 sheets of sketchbook paper in the back. There is a total of four full step-by-step tutorials in the front section of the book; drawing a dragon's head, drawing an Eastern dragon, drawing a Western Dragon, and drawing a miniature (fairy) dragon.

These are all drawn using graphite pencil, as are all the steps. Steps on how to shade the dragons are also included.

In the sketch paper section of the book there are also several small line drawings included as either page accents or to be embellished/colored by the sketchbook's owner.

All the illustrations in the book are bran new, so there is no repeated artwork from the other two books.

Regarding my other two books, the first one, Drawing Dragons, is also all drawn in graphite pencil, with a full color insert in the middle (which is drawn in colored pencil). All the steps are done in graphite pencil and steps on shading using graphite pencil are included in each tutorial.

Drawing Fantastic Dragons is all drawn in colored pencil, and includes steps on how to color and blend using colored pencils. This book is therefore full color.

There is no repeated artwork among the three books, so they make a great set for any artist or fan of my art.

For anyone that would like to have larger copies of the sketches in the second part of the book to color, I will be making them available on my website Canadian Dragon Fantasy Art. (CanadianDragon.com)

All in all, it is a fun little sketchbook for any dragon lover, and makes a great companion to either of my other two books.

I thought this was going to be a book about drawing dragons, but most of the pages are blank for “you” to practice. If your looking for inspiration to draw dragons, this probably isn’t the book I would recommend

I expected more ability to sketch the dragons side-by-side (dragon on one page, sketch on the other page), but unfortunately it's not as I hoped.

My husband was happy (loves to draw/sketch/color dragons) so as long as he's satisfied with it, I'm happy too.

I get why they don't show content of drawing books but had I know what was inside, I would have passed on this. There's like 10 pages of drawing techniques and the rest is all blank pages for drawing. Was really disappointed.

Technically the first 24 pages have directions on them. After the first 24, the pages are blank aside from the occasional page that has a tiny dragon printed in the margin.
