Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

Having trouble keeping your ferret still for a portrait? Here are three books for capturing small critters, Hammond's in colored pencils, Scott's in paints, and Wynne's in both. Hammond is a highly accomplished artist with several North Light books to her credit. Here she has developed a special graphing system for beginners, primarily for drawing cats, dogs, horses, and squirrels but for a few bears and tigers, too. It's an excellent system for those intimidated by the variations of eyes, mouths, ears, and feet found on our furry companions. Scott's approach is for the advanced student who wants a more classically based style for painting rabbits, ferrets, mice, raccoons, and foxes. The influence of the Old Masters can be detected in her 41 mini-demonstrations and 16 full treatments in oil, acrylic, gouache, and pencil. Wynne is a British artist who has painted many well-known and royal pets, including the horses at the Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace. Hers is a lovely, loose style using either pencils or watercolors for cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. All three books are recommended and should prove popular. For large wild animals, see Cynthie Fisher's Wildlife Painting Basics: Deer, Antelope & Other Hooved Animals; for more narrow detail, see Rachel Rubin Wolf's Keys to Painting: Fur & Feathers.

Book Description

Now anyone can draw incredibly realistic animals--even if they've never drawn before!

Lee Hammond's amazing, easy-to-follow techniques enable even first-time artists to render a variety of wonderful animals, from cats and dogs to horses, squirrels, tigers and more. Hammond's special graphing system makes all the difference, enabling the reader's brain to translate animal poses from a picture into startlingly realistic drawings on the page.

Additional guidelines detail the methods used to duplicate eyes, ears, mouths, feet, fur and hides. Readers will also learn how to layer, blend and shade their work, just like the pros!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative!, Jan 8 2004
This review is from: Drawing in Color - Animals (Paperback)
This book will teach you how to get your shadows right, to express the fur of animals, their body, their face. It explains how to shade simple objects, how to draw without thinking of the result, with the help of a grid. It teaches you how to render the different parts of the bodies of very different animals. For me it was a great help, I really think it can help out beginners in making their drawings more realistic.

This review is from: Drawing in Color - Animals (Paperback)
As a beginner, I found "Drawing in Color" is very helpful to me. I have another two books called "Lifelike drawing in colored pencil" by Lee Hammond and "Colored Pencil Solution" by Janie Gildow and Barbara Benedetti Newton. These three books combined give me most tips and techniques that I was able to draw four beautiful colored pencil pictures in short period of time.
