Features: Most of the animals we will draw in this book are mammals, such as the common horse and dog, which belong to the class of mammals. They nourish their offspring with milk and are covered with varying amounts of fur on their skin. Most four-legged animals have very similar skeletons, which can be considered their common feature. However, bears and elephants are exceptions. You might not believe it, but the structure of their hind legs is astonishingly similar to that of human legs! What kind of animal do you like? Is it a puppy, a kitten, or a tall horse? Maybe it's a penguin, or perhaps the Galápagos sea turtle? No matter what kind of animal you like, the task of this book is to teach you how to draw them so that others can recognize them!
First, we need to learn some basic knowledge about animals—such as the general body parts of animals, how they stand, and how they walk. Next, we will start drawing various animals, from gorillas to grizzly bears, to camels, and even crocodiles—there's something for everyone, and you'll have plenty to draw. Moreover, something worth being proud of is that you are not just tracing, but through practice, you are gaining both enjoyment and learning how to draw!
