Stimulant, July 15 2008
By J. M. Marin Saez - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Animal Sketching (Paperback)
The author says "...the object of this book, which really is to create a stimulant to the younger artist, to draw things as he sees them, has fulfilled its purpose." I am neither young nor an artist but I find this little book very stimulating. If you browse the book you will see very simple animal sketches. Many of them are so simple that I thought I could do them better, so I tried. And this is the important thing, I tried, I copied the sketches in the book. Maybe one sketch has only a few lines and maybe you get some/all of them right, but what do you think of the overall result? Could it be better? Just do it again, after all it only takes a moment, there are only a few lines to draw.I have only tried with the sketches in the book and I have yet to try with living animals (dogs, cats, cows,...) I wanted a book on animal sketching and, besides the title, this es the content of this book.
I highly recommend this book.

Wonderful Resource!, May 12 2012

This review is from: Animal Sketching (Paperback)
This little book has become one of my favorites on the topic of sketching and aminal drawing. It is a different kind of book. There isn't a lot of text and there are no step-by-step excercises, here. The bulk of it is simple sketches of a great variety of animals. It seemed, at first, that it might be boring. However, what it has turned out to be is a great reference and a valuable learning tool. The sketches are so simple that it is hard to resist trying and re-trying them. And as one goes along, ideas about using line, etc to quickly render an object come to light.I recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve his/her drawing/sketching/painting skills. The lessons learned here can be applied to any subject and lots of mediums, so it's worth getting even if you aren't a huge fan of drawing animals. Trying out different media with these sketches adds to the fun.
