Synopsis

Focused on drawing wildlife from direct observation rather than relying solely on photographs, this book shows how to study animals in settings such as zoos, farms, wildlife parks and aquariums. It covers a wide spread of subjects across mammals, reptiles, birds, fish and insects, with approaches designed to help you capture movement and accuracy.

Inside you will find quick gestural sketches alongside more developed studies, using pencil, pen and ink, and watercolour. Practical guidance includes tools and materials, core drawing techniques, and advice on depicting coat patterns and markings, from exotic bird plumage to hippos’ hooves. Suitable for artists of all abilities, including professional illustrators and animators.
