This fully revised portfolio includes field sketches, drawings of footprints, and four-colour photographs of more than 60 species of North American animals taken in their natural habitats. Rather than a drawing manual, this is a reference geared toward artists of any media interested in drawing animals. The hundreds of detailed sketches and photographs capture the true nature of the species. Flat artists can use this guide as a starting point for larger compositions, while sculptors and woodcarvers can use it to define natural-looking poses for their subjects. This replaces 1565231430.
