Features: A book on art techniques. Is the animal portrait you draw more like a cartoon than a real animal? Through step-by-step learning in this book, you can make your pets and other animals look realistic in a short period of time! The secret lies in seeing the animal you want to draw as simple shapes that can be pieced together. Then, use light and shadow to create depth. That's it! Regarding details, Hammond shows you how to draw accurately: different eyes and noses; different fur—from the squirrel's tail to the lion's mane; the texture of animals—including wrinkles on elephants, scales on fish, and strong muscles on horses; complex patterns of animals like frogs, zebras, birds, and others; backgrounds—including how to draw reference points to highlight the main subject and how to make the background fade into the distance. The illustrations in the book help you master each step. What's important is that you'll see your progress immediately!
