Another Wonderful instruction book by the Walter Foster Team!

This book showcases the art of 5 very talented artists. Cindy Smith shows 6 step drawings for a rabbit, kitten, duckling, colt, puppy, bear cub, a fawn, lion cub, yorkie puppy, lamb, and a giraffe. Nolan Stacey shows 6 cats and 6 dogs. The Labrador Retriever on the front cover would be one of his animal portraits. Patricia Getha shows 14 various poses of horses. Linda Weil has 5 wild animals; elephant, owl , tiger cub, Koala, Dingo, and Kangaroo. The first 4 sections are done in graphite. The last section, is basically a reprint of Debra Kauffman Yaun's book, Animals in Colored Pencil. She expertly shows how she renders a rooster, a collie, a gray squirrel, a horse head, a lory, a leopard, a Maine coon, an Alpaca, a turtle, a fox, a bush baby, and a cow. . . WONDERFUL BOOK!
