Draw Monsters
Author/illustrator: Damon J. Reinagle
ISBN 0-939217-34-1
Damon J. Reinagle turns with obvious relish to a favorite subject of his since childhood. After a Mad Scientist and his assistant and creations (Frankenstein and bride), Dracula and his daughter join the scene...and then a mummy, witch, banshee, and various demons and beasts. Reinagle includes pages on creating creepy letters as well as a diagram of the major bones of the human skeleton. His writing is upbeat and humorous, and the skillful final colored pencil drawings, despite their subjects, seem to wink at you and say, "see, we're not really that scary, are we?"
Damon J. Reinagle teaches art at St. Matthews School in Pacific Palisades, California.
