Review: One of the best available - I bought this book from desertcart last year - I can't remember the price, but it was an absolute bargain. It's not huge but it's packed for of content over its 119 pages or so, rather than having lots of extra white space for aesthetics. Being an older book, some of the writing is a little bit wordier than it needs to be but having looked at so many animal drawing books, this has to be my favourite (the Wetherley one also looks great though I'm not about to pay £50 to find out). The book covers a good range of animals but it's not a substitute for a detailed anatomy book. Conversely, it has immense value in that it not only shows the bones and muscles of some major animals such as the horse and cow, but also shows gesture and proportion. The drawing guides and box forms really help you ensure how to get your lay-in correct and this is something I've found missing even from animal drawing courses online taught by well-known instructors. If you want to be able to draw animals from imagination and not be slave to reference photos, this book will provide some great foundations. The book is also very helpful in showing individual animal details - comparisons of eyes noses, ears and so on. While no volume can ever cover every animal, you can see smaller drawings depicting various species within the same animal family to help you adjust your mainframe accordingly. For the price, you absolutely cannot beat it - well worth it (as per many of Jack Hamm's books)! Review: Must buy - This book was beyond my expectations and is quite exceptional especially considering it was published in 1980, the sheer amount of detail is unreal and I have even learned quite alot about animals I never even knew lol. There's many detailed drawings of most animals also showing the subtle differences between certain animals like the lion and tiger or different bears and how bears are similar to dogs in some respects, and it even goes into anatomy of most animals showing bone structure and muscle placements its seriously amazing and not at all what I expected, the animals drawn are even super realistic and not cartoon looking so thats a bonus as other books I have are close but not realistic like this one. I 100% recommend this book especially for the price you cant go wrong. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 107,954 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 104 in Arts & Photography Study & Teaching 172 in Art Books for Young Adults 960 in Drawing (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 661 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Draw Animals (Perigee) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/910xtDBc68L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best available *by G***T on 2 April 2020* I bought this book from Amazon last year - I can't remember the price, but it was an absolute bargain.
