Through artwork and step-by-step lessons, this manual demonstrates how to draw wildlife in a way that is not only accurate but also attempts to capture the personality of the animal. There is advice on how to work on location, how to find the animal you are seeking to draw and how to draw from photographs. There are exercises on how to prepare the working surface, and on painting, glazing and varnishing. The authors also cover how to add depth and texture, and how to depict fur, feathers and differing animal features. The volume also contains full-colour reproductions from some of the world's best wildlife artists including Bob Kuhn, Dino Paravano, Raymond Harris-Ching and Roland Jonsson.
