Product Description
Product Description
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!
Illustrated demonstrations guide your every step. And best of all, you'll see the difference in your drawings right away!
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 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 fogs, zebras, birds and other animals
Backgrounds - including how to use contrast close up and how to make distant things look soft and far away.
Illustrated demonstrations guide your every step. And best of all, you'll see the difference in your drawings right away!

This book will inspire you to draw more!,
By Regina (Philippines) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Draw Real Animals! (Paperback)
I read Lee Hammond's book, "Draw Real Animals" and I think it was really really worth my money. She discovered a blending technique that makes drawings look real. What's nice about this book is that she presents before and after drawings of kids (and they look real). When I first tried her technique, I got INSTANT RESULTS! Before when I used to look at a paper and try to draw, I thought, "no, this won't work" But now, every drawing I finish looks like a masterpiece! Buy this book, it will inspire you to draw more!

This is great! A+++,
By A Customer
This review is from: Draw Real Animals! (Paperback)
Oh My Gosh! This book is amazing! When I had tried to draw animals in the past, I always turned up with bunches of rough, uneven lines that had a sketchy appearence. After studying this book and practicing the techniques within it, I created this beautiful drawing of a horse which I have now framed. I always get lots of great comments about it and a lot of my friends ask who I bought it from, since they can't believe that I did it! I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to improve their drawing skills, or to anyone interested in bringing out their artisticside that want a place to start.
