I was a little apprehensive about ordering an art DVD. I was purchasing it for my 13 year old grandson who already has and likes Jessica Peffer's art books. I wondered if it would be too boring to just watch someone draw a dragon. It was far from boring. He watched the entire DVD as soon as he got it. I watched it with him and Jessica has a way of keeping it lively while giving out a lot of information. There is no substitute for actually seeing how someone creates their art - it's the best way to learn. I highly recommend this DragonArt DVD -well worth the price.
