In this book, he distills his expertise into key lessons for drawing any animal in a charming, realistic style. Inside, a whole herd of step-by-step exercises and demonstrations (43, to be exact!) cover a broad range of subjects and challenges, including how to draw: • Short, long and patterned fur • Mouths, eyes, ears and horns • Various poses, including seated, standing and moving • A diversity of animals, domestic and wild--from housecats to big cats, from tiny cottontails to massive African elephants. Nothing intimidating here! Starting with easy sketches, you'll learn to gradually refine basic shapes into lifelike dogs, wolves, deer, sheep, horses, bears, giraffes, owls, eagles, geese and other magnificent creatures. With this classic and time-tested approach, you'll be able to draw not only the animals illustrated on these pages, but any animal that touches your artistic soul. Review: Really good drawing book - Good book. This has from beginner well into intermediate and advanced drawing. You can use it at several levels of experience. Like work on the basic shapes to start, and eventually learn the more advanced techniques. It'd be rather fast for someone who is an absolute beginner, though. However, one of the best animal drawing books I've seen.

This has from beginner well into intermediate and advanced drawing. You can use it at several levels of experience. Like work on the basic shapes to start, and eventually learn the more advanced techniques. It'd be rather fast for someone who is an absolute beginner, though. However, one of the best animal drawing books I've seen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by A***D on June 19, 2026* Great beginner book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book! *by H***R on January 10, 2012* I don't particularly understand the low ratings for this book; It has great drawings, not the loose chaotic scribbles you see in many other animal drawing books. It's well made with high quality paper, offering full color reference images for each one of its guides, in addition to tips, a step-by-step guide on how to draw them, and even a bit of information about the animal that will help with drawing them. Since it was made in 2006, it is presented in a more modern manner, and won't feel like the old-of-date, scratchy-papered, black-and-white-with-yellowing-pages texts that schools often provide, and therefore provides a more casual and entertaining experience. It has a nice array of animals, with large sections for the most popular animals (ex: the cat family, the dog family) and smaller sections for the more "out-there" animals, like giraffes and owls. The only downside I can see here is the lack of anatomical information; however, this is not advertised as an anatomy book. Also, this is not a book for beginners. It assumes you already have a basic grasp of drawing, but would like more practice in the drawing of animals. Most of the step-by-steps provide only 3 images: the very basic structure of the animal, followed by a loose guide on where the details should go, and a finished drawing. As I've said, for anyone who has a good drawing background, this should be sufficient, but beginners are better off looking elsewhere. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Artist's Guide to Drawing Realistic Animals - Fuxi 9" x 12" Sketch Book, Top Spiral Bound Sketch Pad, 1 Pack 100 Sheets 68lb/100gsm, Acid Free Art Sketchbook Artistic Drawing Painting Writing Paper for Kids Adults Beginners Artists - Drawing: Landscapes with William F.
