About this title

From the Back Cover:

Do your drawings look more like one-dimensional cartoon characters than real animals? With this step-by-step guide, you'll be creating realistic drawings of your pets and other animals in no time! The secret is seeing and drawing animals as simple shapes that fit together like a puzzle. Next, you create a convincing sense of dimension with shading. It's that easy! Moving on to the details, Hammond shows you how to accurately draw different kinds of eyes and noses; various types of hair and fur - from a squirrel's tail to a lion's mane; animal textures - including the wrinkles of an elephant's skin, scales on a fish and the muscular build of a horse; the intricate patterns on frogs, zebras, birds and other animals; and backgrounds - including how to use contrast close up and how to make distant things look soft and far away.
