Product Description
Book Description
Representing more than 60 species found throughout North America, this portfolio includes field sketches, drawings of footprints, and photographs of animals taken in their natural habitats. Rather than a drawing manual, this is a reference geared toward artists of any media interested in drawing animals. The book's large-scale format facilitates detailed sketches that capture the true nature of the species. Flat artists can use this guide as a starting point for larger compositions, while sculptors and woodcarvers can use it to define natural-looking poses for their subjects.

Excellent book, Mar 4 2000
By K. Barmettler "Stargazer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Drawing America's Wildlife: An Artist's Portfolio of North American Animals (Paperback)
This book has an extremely wide selection of animals showing actual pictures, footprints, evironments, and drawings of the animals themselves in a variety of poses. Also included, are numerous field notes with regard to habitat, animal behavior, and likely scenarios for drawing these animals in natural settings.

This book is beautifully Done, however, if you want birds in flight? This one is dissappointing, Feb 27 2006
By Karen Leutz "Artist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Drawing America's Wildlife: An Artist's Portfolio of North American Animals (Paperback)
This book, as does all of Mr. Lindstrand's work, shows a very high level of skill through sketchwork done on a huge variety of animals both land and air. There are many birds of prey showing great detail and nuance of differences between each one shown. I had hoped for more work on the Eagle. While there are some good pointers and sketch workups on the Bald Eagle I have yet to find a viable sketch of one of these majestic birds while in flight. this seems true of the other bird depictions in the book as well. The other animals of the cold country north are all shown very nicely in all their magesty, but these birds are lifeless and flightless for the most part and I was sorely dissappointed for that reason. The sheer number of birds included is astounding and I had hoped for more activity of form and flight shown in the work than what I actually found to be there.
