Each section deals with a separate animal and includes sketches of the basic form of the animal as viewed from the front, back and side. Muscles, surface anatomy and close-ups of specific features such as heads, paws and legs are included, as well as typical expressions. All drawings are accompanied by detailed captions. The text will be of benefit to illustrators, amateur and professional wildlife artists and naturalists. Basic fundamentals for the beginner, new principles and techniques for the professional.
Topics range from drawing horses, dogs, big and small cats, elephants, and bears.
Give this book a try, you can't go wrong. The pricetag and content are unbeatable. When I had tried to draw animals in the past, I always turned up with bunches of rough, uneven lines that had a sketchy appearence. After studying this book and practicing the techniques within it, I created this beautiful drawing of a horse which I have now framed. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to improve their drawing skills, or to anyone interested in bringing out their artisticside that want a place to start.
