How to Draw Animals

I bought this for my daughter, who loves drawing and animals. She found it very good, with different chapters for different types of animals (pets, horse, reptiles, sea creatures etc.) and step-by-step instructions at the end of each chapter for drawing a larger scene with the animals. The instructions were very clear too. Overall an amazing book.

This is a grea book on how to draw Amnials (I call them Amnials as a laugh, this isn't a spellchecker issue or my spelling all gone phooey). Amnials are all over, there's all sorts of them. And this shows how to draw them with great techniques.

beautifully illustrated book with clear guidelines on how to draw. At this point I've only read it - need to find time to use it in application - I'll update this when I do :-)

Useful addition to the library and great for the younger artist

Brilliant book - my 7 year old has produced some incredible pictures straight away from using this book. Lovely size and quality. He is learning the principles from how the animals are drawn to think about how to draw other animals that aren’t in the book. He loves it.

Brilliant book, with clear instructions and ideas. It has really helped my 8 year old daughter to draw animals she wouldn't usually be able to. A great gift for both girls and boys who love to draw

Very easy steps to learning to draw animals. Highly recommend for adults & children just learning to draw. Well worth the money.

Shipped and delivered quickly and in perfect shape. I bought 3 of these books at my daughter's request for Christmas as she wanted to improve her drawing skills and she loves them, already learned great techniques and improved her skills; if I had time to draw I'd even borrow them from her;)

Magnifiques et très grandes illustrations, des pas à pas clairs pour dessiner une quinzaine d'animaux : chat, chien, lapin, crocodile, iguane, cheval, poulain, poney, papillon, abeille, dauphin, hippocampe, lion, tigre, jaguar. Cette partie est accessible à tous, petits et grands. Là où je trouve que c'est moins bien, c'est pour la colorisation, les instructions sont trop succinctes, et il n'y a pas de pas à pas, c'est difficile si on n'a pas déjà de bonnes bases en encre, aquarelle ou crayons de couleur. Le gros plus de ce livre : l'auteur introduit les animaux qu'on vient d'apprendre à dessiner dans des scènes avec un beau paysage en fond, et explique le cheminement pour une belle composition, comment faire un croquis préparatoire, le colorer rapidement pour décider des couleurs, des ombres, des valeurs. Puis la mise au propre du projet, le croquis définitif, l'encrage et la colorisation. Le tout sur trois doubles pages par scène. Et ça, je trouve ça génial. Difficile à mon niveau, mais génial. Je pense qu'il faut déjà se débrouiller un peu en dessin pour s'en sortir, mais c'est chouette d'essayer et d'avoir d'aussi beaux modèles pour s'entraîner.

Really liked the method they used to show how to draw animals, would recommend.

We got this book for my daughter for Christmas. She's drawing pictures all the time now. Her drawing has improved by following the techniques in the book. She's doing a great job and loves the book.

Great for a beginner
