Overview
Renowned art instructor and author of The New Artist’s Guide to Drawing, Mark Liam Smith, takes the intimidation out of drawing animals by breaking the process down into just five easy steps. From pets to farm animals, forest creatures to ocean dwellers, this approachable guide ensures that anyone can draw animals with ease. In only five simple steps, beginner artists can bring an exciting array of over 60 different subjects to life: Readers will create furry friends they find at home like a Labrador, Rabbit, or Siamese Cat. They’ll be transported to a rainforest while sketching a Tiger, Gorilla, or Toucan, before bundling up and heading north to sketch a Polar Bear, Penguin, or Reindeer. Or they will explore the savannah and draw Lions, Zebras, Elephants, and more!
With ample visual inspiration and step-by-step tutorials for drawing the unique textures of creatures big and small, beginners will gain a new set of skills as they build an impressive portfolio. Detailed, realistic, and approachable, this collection is a perfect starting point for artists looking to capture the charm and nuance of animals without a great deal of time or effort.
