John has created some stunning new pencil artworks to compliment the original smallerĀ format Pictura, making this new large poster book edition, 12 individual plates which can be removed from the book, the new imagesĀ can be seen here. Colouring pencils at the ready.

Pictura is a stunning range of black-and-white artworks to collect and colour for all ages. In Draconis, John Howe (conceptual artist for the Lord of the Rings films) shows that there are dragons everywhere: in woods, in castles, in the clouds, in architecture, sitting on piles of treasure and, lastly, in books.

Our lovely designer of the original Pictura, Nghiem Ta made this little time lapse video, featuring Tamlyn, Caroline and Nghiem spending a very enjoyable few hours colouring in John’s dragons..
