Overview
Learn how to produce beautiful studies of mammals, insects, birds and fish, with guidance on how to treat basics such as fur, claw, teeth and scales, and depict the behaviour, movement, textures and spirit that make each creature a unique subject. A gallery of work by respected wildlife artists inspires you to build your own portfolio. Expert tips and advice both guide beginners and help intermediate artists move to the next level. First the reader is taken through artistic basics in the tutorial section. The movement of animals is discussed, and how to convey their energy. The range of media employed includes pencils, charcoal, pen and ink, pastels, watercolours, acrylics, gouache and oils. Professional examples are given with expert annotation, to explain how they have achieved various effects. The inspiring range of 30 step-by-step projects include geese on a lily pond, pelicans in flight, and a buzzing bee, among many others.
