Customer Reviews

great for animal lovers
This book shows you in stages how to draw, shade in and complete your favourite animals. An excellent purchase and makes a great unusual gift.

Brilliant!
I just got this book today, and have been practicing the techniques for a few hours. I quite often draw pet portraits for friends and family and I bought this book for tips to improve my drawings, and I am certainly not dissapointed with it. Almost instantly I was able to draw pictures that were far more realistic and much more in proportion than I ever could before. This book is definatley worth every penny.Highly recommended.

Great - I created an acceptable drawing at the first attempt
Great - I created an acceptable drawing at the first attempt - not having done much drawing in the past and being totally unfamiliar with the blending techniques used I was suprised how good it was. Everything is well explained in an easy progression, with lots of helpful illustrations and tips. A very good all round introduction to drawing from photographs/pictures - the techniques would be applicable to any subject not just pets.
