The Art of How to Train Your Dragon 2 Review: Beautiful artbook - This book is as good as the artbook for the first film, The Art of How to Train Your Dragon . In other words, it's a beautiful artbook. The concept art is split between designs for the characters, dragons, environment and props. Hiccup and company from Berk are five years older now, and they are redesigned slightly to reflect their age. Nicolas Marlet is still the main character designer and a lot of his drawings are included. He still uses traditional media to draw in similar style the expressive and almost cartoon-like characters. Artist Zhaoping Wei provides the more finished look to the characters. Both the viking and dragon designs are a joy to look at, and of course there new characters and dragons. There's Stoick's Skullcrusher, blacksmith Gobber's Grump, Valka's Cloudjumper, the two gigantic Bewilderbeast and of course other miscellaneous dragons. Designs for the props and sets are also wonderful. I love the whimsical look and feel. There are many interesting creations, to name a few, such as the dragon wind vane, dragon feeding stations, houses and buildings, traps and war machines. Environment paintings are really beautiful and scenic. There aren't many of those but when they appear, they are breathtaking. Alright, some downsides. There's a good amount of text talking about the story and art, but the lengthy passages are not easy to read because of the small font size. My other complaint is the paper feels thinner and softer than the first book. If they make the paper any thinner, it would be magazine paper. Note that there are two publishers for this book, Newmarket Press and Titan Books. My edition is Newmarket Press. I read another reviewer comment about the paper stock from Titan Books being thin as well. So these are my two quibbles. Overall, it feels like they've packed more artworks than the earlier book. Despite the minor downsides, I would still highly recommend this book, as well as the first artbook. 4.5 out of 5 stars. (See more pictures of the book on my blog.

Review: Great book - Is the second book of the series i bought for my sister and she loved it as much as the first one, beautiful artwork, lots of references and very helpful! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #83,885 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #46 in Animation Graphic Design (Books) #90 in Art of Film & Video #254 in Pop Culture Art | | Book 2 of 3 | The Art of How to Train Your Dragon | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (801) | | Dimensions | 0.8 x 10.1 x 11.5 inches | | Edition | New copy with the original signatures of the movie directors (see picture) | | ISBN-10 | 0062323350 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0062323354 | | Item Weight | 2.55 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 160 pages | | Publication date | May 6, 2014 | | Publisher | Dey Street Books | ## Images ![The Art of How to Train Your Dragon 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RMpGf-AxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful artbook *by P***A on May 19, 2014* This book is as good as the artbook for the first film, The Art of How to Train Your Dragon .

It's a beautiful book to begin with; when you remove the slipcover, the front of the hardcover book is gorgeous as well. Every page in the book is filled with GORGEOUS concept art from the movie, and is full of director's and animators' insight and comments, which is what I really love. I absolutely love The Art of How To Train Your Dragon 2 and am looking forward to buying other "The Art of" books in the future. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Art of How to Train Your Dragon 2 - The Art of How to Train Your Dragon - The Art of DreamWorks The Wild Robot (The Art of DreamWorks Animation) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1302303-the-art-of-how-to-train-your-dragon-2](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/1302303-the-art-of-how-to-train-your-dragon-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
