Description

Artist Tim Pond's engaging guide combines science with art, providing the skills and techniques needed to create lively sketches of animals. Unlike life drawing books that focus solely on still subjects, this book shows how to observe and draw wildlife in its natural environment, bringing you closer to nature along the way. By understanding the biology of an animal, you can influence your sketching style and capture the form, movement, and spirit of the animal. This unique guide combines scientific knowledge with expert practical guidance, making it suitable for artists of all levels. You'll learn how to create quick gestural sketches, linear studies, and tonal drawings in various media, including pencil, pen and ink, and watercolour. With this book, you'll embark on a journey of discovery that will help you develop the skills and techniques needed to sketch a wide range of wildlife, from mammals and reptiles to birds, fish, and insects.
