AlbakiReads Editorial Inside the visual development of DreamWorks’ Viking-and-dragon world
Inside the visual development of DreamWorks’ Viking-and-dragon world
Centered on DreamWorks Animation’s adaptation of Cressida Cowell’s novel, this full-color companion documents the artwork behind the film’s island setting, Viking community, dragons, and central conflict between the two. More than 350 images—including early character work, story sketches, and concept paintings—trace the project from exploratory designs to its realized animated world. The book’s emphasis is on visual development and adaptation: how ideas for characters and environments were shaped for a feature-length film, rather than on expanding the film’s story.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Fans of How to Train Your Dragon and DreamWorks Animation
- Animation, concept-art, and character-design enthusiasts
- Collectors of illustrated film-development books

This official illustrated tie-in book showcases more than 350 spectacular images from the DreamWorks Animation feature film, How to Train Your Dragon, based on Cressida Cowell's popular children's book.
How to Train Your Dragon is the story of a scrawny teenaged Viking, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, who lives on the island of Berk in the North Sea. Hiccup is a member of a Viking tribe and wants to make his father, the chief, proud of him. Entering dragon training, Hiccup has a chance to prove his worthiness to his tribe and father. But then, in a world where Dragons and Vikings do not coexist peacefully, Hiccup encounters and ultimately befriends an injured dragon, at which point his world is turned upside down.
The Art of How to Train Your Dragon is a giftable, spectacularly designed, full-color insider's guide to the creative process that went into turning Cressida Cowell's popular book into a feature-length, animated film. Featuring more than 350 pieces of development artwork, including early character designs, story sketches, and concept paintings never before released by the studio, the book provides an in-depth look at the process involved in bringing mythical Dragon and Viking worlds to life.
