This contemporary, step-by-step guidebook demonstrates fundamental art concepts like proportion, anatomy, and spatial relationships as you learn to draw a full range of creatures, all shown from a variety of perspectives. Each set of illustrations takes you from beginning sketch lines to a finished drawing.
Author Melissa Washburn’s clear and elegant drawing style will make this a go-to sourcebook for years to come.
The book is broken down into 6 sections:
Section 1: Familiar Household Animals
Section 2: Other Domestic Animals
Section 3: Wild Animals
Section 4: Birds
Section 5: Reptiles, Amphibians, Cephalopod
Section 6: Details and Parts
You’ll learn how to draw some of the following animals: Greyhound, Gecko, Parakeet, Mouse, Rabbit, Tabby Cat, Horse, Goat, Sheep, Llama, Chinchilla, Fox, Wolf, Raccoon, Moose, Kangaroo, Walrus, Chimpanzee, Bobcat, Elk, Deer, Lemur, Grizzly Bear, Tiger, Lion, Zebra, Manatee, Owl, Penguin, Hummingbird, Chickadee, Flamingo, Chameleon, Iguana, Bullfrog, Tortoise, Python, Octopus and more!!!
Section 6 on Details & Parts will teach you how to draw a bird in flight, how to draw feathers, feline’s feet, canine’s feet, the horse’s head and features, etc. I really like that section which helps you to add the details that are needed to make the animal look realistic.
My daughter has been trying her hand at drawing and has been practicing the basic shapes and proper proportions. One of her favorite animals is a SLOTH and that will be the first animal she’ll attempt from this great how-to instructional book.
