Drawing Realistic Pets,

This review is from: Drawing Realistic Pets from Photographs (Paperback)
I bought this book because I wanted to try and draw my 2 dogs. There are lots of pets to practice with and many detailed examples. I'm very glad I purchased it as I've made an attempt at drawing one of my dogs and it's actually starting to look like her.

I haven't drawn for about 10 years. I took a few art classes in high school but didn't practice much. This book helped me so much. I had never used grids before and they really helped me get the right proportions for my drawings. My first drawing was a huge improvement over my previous attempts. I wish there was a little more detail on taking your drawing to the final step with lifting out color. But overall I think this is a excellent book for beginners. i wish I had it when I was younger. I'm inspired to start drawing again.

I like to draw but always have trouble getting my sketches exactly looking life like. After doing the lessons in this book there's no stopping me. It is so easy to understand and the final results are amazing. Well done Lee Hammond I also bought the painting copy with excellent results as well.

I bought this for my daughter and my self secretly figuring if she didn't like it I would. My daughter is 10 and her dad is a very talented artist. She shows signs of his gift, so I wanted to spark her interest in drawing and her confidence. She had a bad experience with her first Art teacher in school this year who really made Art NOT FUN and caused her to doubt her inate abilites.I looked at lots of different books and setteled on Lee Hamond Series to try. The other books in series that were similar to this had a heavier, boring feel too them. Lee's approach and drawings were more up beat and lively looking and feeling. There is a good amount of text, verbal instruction and discussion available to read if that is how you learn. There is also a lot of practice things and then a good amount of getting right to the good stuff drawing animals. The other day my daughter picked this up without me knowing, so I don't really know how much she actually read about the drawing, but I do Know she went right to the good stuff choosing to by pass all the "drawing exercises" and started drawing a dog with Lee's methods. I found the incomplete drawing in the garbage by accident and was impressed. It was really good. better than some of the things I had seen her draw before. It was not complete by any means but it was starting to look really life like. Now the book worked for my daughter that way at this point in time. maybe someday she will want to go back and read some of the explinations or try some of the practice exercises and really WORK at improving her fundementals of Drawing. But for now she is enjoying useing the book like this. Great. it is fun and producing results that are motivating and interesting her in drawing more. I could not be happier. I am excited as to where she may be able to go with these books and her talent. I feel without reservation I bought the right book and will buy more in this series for her in the future. |
