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!
