Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Fantastic--packed with helpful informationBy PeekiThis book is exactly what I wanted. It is helpful is explaining how a dog is put together--the relationship of the parts of his body. It discusses paper and pencils. It shows several techniques for drawing dog hair and the differences between the coats of different dogs. This author/artist really seems to want the reader of his book to be able to render a satisfactory likeness of a dog. And when I use the word "satisfactory"; I mean a drawing that is good enough to please the artist himself. It is thoughtful; touches on so many aspects that you wont be able to absorb it in one session. (No; this is not the mother of Nolon Stacey--this is a Sunday artist who learned to draw horses from a Walter Foster book sixty years ago but cant draw a decent dog.) I dont think it is too hard for someone with little experience in drawing if they are serious about wanting to draw dogs.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very nice step by step illustrationsBy mjkailA very good instructional book but I would not recommend it for a beginner because it doesnt give the basics on the actual shapes that are helpful to start to draw the animal. There was a section on drawing from a photograph which I was more interested in learning but there are also books out there by other artists that instruct using a grid to begin that Ive found more helpful. Also; the section on introducing backgrounds into your picture were very helpful. I would definitely recommend this for the more advanced artists. Very helpful book to add to your drawing library.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Easy to follow instructionsBy Davina MacLeodI got quite a lot from this book. It is well thought out; and showed that the artist knows what shes talking about. For beginners there would need to be a bit more on the basics for me to give it five stars; but overall its very useful.
