I bought how to paint flowers and nature. and really found that book useful so when I started painting animals. I bought this one. I love this book. I keep it out to refer back to as I paint. I am painting a big black bear right now and needed some help with making the fur look realistic. Lee talks about how to paint animal hair and fur. how to layer and how long to make the strokes. she doesnt specifically talk about black bear hair. but gives details on a few different types of animal hair. and includes pictures. I found this to be very helpful.This book has so much more than that. I only bought it for the hair instruction but she also talks about drawing animals and how to get the eyes. nose and body right and all in proportion. she gives examples with pictures which is very helpful. If you are someone who wants to learn to draw or paint animals. this book can help you. I would highly recommend it.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Learn how to paint animalsBy Ms. PoetressWell this book is amazing. Being a beginner. the author broke down everything from shading to fur colors and eye colors. Everything was new to me except using a grid to draw the animal before laying down paint. Lee explains stages and its very well written. I give this book 5 stars because it helped me paint my first animal and I have people asking me to paint portraits of their pets! Pretty good stuff :)14 of 14 people found the following review helpful. Excellent for learning...By KatleeIf youre wanting to paint realistic animals. this is a great book to have. The author goes over many different animals (including a turtle. goat. horses. and even a snake!). not just the standard dog. cat and bunny. Great step by steps as well as reassurance for that ugly stage of painting.She really knows how to make the information easy to understand. and Im glad to have picked this one up. Ill be using it for a long time.My only complaint with the book is it would have been nice to see some more examples of some of the animals. and. of course. just more examples in general.
