Reader comments
This book is great! It is created based on "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and ancient myths and legends, using anthropomorphic paintings to show different legends and stories. The content is rich, with detailed explanations on line drawing, drawing of demons and gods, etc. Just like "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", it is full of fantasy and imagination. "Writing about ghosts and monsters is superior to others, and it's about stabbing greed and cruelty to the bone." I plan to use this book to learn line drawing and create my own fantasy world!
