SynopsisDRAWING ANIMALS FROM LIFE: Science meets art in this drawing book that gives you the skills, techniques, and knowledge you need to draw 45 different animal species. Capture with stunning life, movement, and accuracy a vast array of mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, and insects! When it comes to drawing wildlife, illustrators and artists often revert to working solely from photographs, which can leave the artwork looking lifeless and flat. In this inspirational animal drawing book, artist Tim Pond shows you how to observe and draw animals in zoos, farms, wildlife parks, and aquariums--and teaches you fascinating animal facts along the way. Embark on a journey of discovery that will help you develop the skills, techniques, and knowledge needed to sketch a broad range of wildlife--from mammals and reptiles to birds, fish, and insects. Inside, you'll find quick, gestural sketches and more in-depth studies in a variety of media (pencil, pen and ink, and watercolor); guidance on representing different coat patterns and markings (like the plumage of exotic birds or hippos' hooves); and information on tools, materials, and basic drawing techniques. Combining scientific knowledge with expert practical guidance is the key to successfully drawing animals from life. Tim's ability to convey this accessibly and engagingly makes this a treasure trove for artists of all skill levels!, Artist Tim Pond's lively and engaging book fuses science with art, providing the reader with the skills, techniques and knowledge they need to create sketches of animals filled with life and movement. There are some very good books written on life drawing, yet when it comes to drawing wildlife, illustrators and artists often revert to working solely from photographs, which can leave the artwork looking lifeless and flat. In this inspirational book, artist Tim Pond shows you how to observe and draw animals in zoos, farms, wildlife parks and aquariums, teaching you some fascinating facts about the animals along the way and ultimately bringing you closer to nature. One of the challenges with sketching wildlife is that animals are constantly moving, however having some basic understanding of the biology of an animal, such as knowing that a duck has a cheek or that a cheetah can't retract its claws, can influence how you might sketch them, and results in a lively drawing that captures the form, movement and ultimately the spirit of the animal in question. Combining scientific knowledge with expert practical guidance is key to creating successful drawings of animals, and Tim's ability to convey this in a way that is both accessible and engaging makes this a unique and inspiring guide suitable for artists of all levels. Tim's book takes you on a journey of discovery that will enable you to develop the skills, techniques and knowledge you need to sketch a broad range of wildlife, encompassing mammals, reptiles, birds, fish and insects. It includes quick, gestural sketches as well as linear and tonal studies, in a variety of media - pencil, pen and ink, and watercolour. There are numerous studies comprising how to represent the different patterns of animals' coats, how to capture the plumage of an exotic bird in watercolour, and how to sketch a hippo's hooves, as well as guidance on tools, materials and basic techniques. The result is a treasure chest of fascinating facts, studies, sketches and annotated drawings that will not fail to ignite your enthusiasm for drawing animals from life.
