How to Draw Animals, Stroke by Stroke!

Books on drawing animals often leave beginning artists feeling frustrated. Does the following scenario sound familiar: You're drawn in by the beautiful final images of a drawing book for beginners, but when you go through the steps of drawing your fist animal project you realize there are lots of missing strokes to get you from one step to the next. Alas!

Not with this book!

In this true beginner's guide to drawing pets, not only do you get a variety of 50 animals to learn how to draw, you get them in a leveled progression that start super easy and then gradually advance as you progress through the book. You also get super clear instruction with color strokes to show you exactly what's different from one step to the next.

Here's just a sampling of the 50 animals you'll learn how to draw:

- Dogs (8 breeds)
- Cats (5 breeds)
- Horses (5 breeds)
- Birds (6 varieties)
- Fish (4 varieties)
- Turtle
- Hamster
- Guinea pig
- Gecko
- Llama
- Hedgehog
- Ferret
- Plus an adorable puppy, kitten, and baby chick

David Williams knew he wanted to be an artist at the young age of 11, when he first exhibited his drawings and paintings at an outdoor art fair. Four years later he held his first gallery show. A graduate of the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at the Parsons School of Design in New York City, Williams instructs drawing at Ivy Tech Community College. In addition, he leads watercolor and oil painting classes at his studio. He is the author of Idiot's Guides: Drawing and Idiot's Guides: Zen Doodling. View titles by David Williams
