Synopsis

Artists have been depicting animals since the earliest cave paintings, and this guide sets out to support that tradition with clear, structured instruction. Written by an award-winning artist, it is designed for painters at all skill levels who want to draw and paint wildlife with greater accuracy.

Sweney uses the horse to explain the physical structure of animals, then turns to the wild duck to demonstrate bird configuration, wing construction and the characteristics of flight. With more than 260 illustrations, many in full colour, and step-by-step detail, it covers a wide range of subjects, from dogs and cats to oxen, deer, bears, goats and more exotic animals, in many sizes and shapes. It is presented as a complete reference to zoological anatomy and a resource for addressing common challenges in artistic composition, suitable for beginners and advanced artists alike.
