Discover 100 wonderful and majestic creatures to draw!
Whether you have your favourites already, or are looking for inspiration from a range of diverse habitats including rainforests, mountains, polar regions or the African savannah, you're bound to discover an animal in this book that you will find irresistible – and you will just want to pick up your pencil and start drawing!
Each animal is broken down into three or four simple stages that lead you effortlessly through to the finished drawing. There are no written instructions to follow – just basic shapes and pencil strokes. Even if you’ve never drawn anything before, you will be amazed at how quickly you will achieve incredibly impressive drawings. Every project also shows two finished examples of the animal – one shaded with pencil and the other with colour.
This is the perfect book for budding artists yearning to draw their favourite animals.
The material in this book is taken from the following books in Search Press's successful How to Draw series: Mountain Animals, Polar Animals, Rainforest Animals, African Animals.
