Draw Like An Artist: 100 Realistic Animals: Step-by-Step Realistic Line Drawing may be a mouthful of a title, but I can assure you that it delivers on the one major promise that it makes. This is a guide that will show you how to draw hundreds of different animals. The artwork inside Draw Like An Artist is simple, but in this case, that’s a good thing. There’s less distraction going on. And if we’re being honest, the simple line art is significantly less intimidating for those just starting out. I cannot stress this enough; Draw Like An Artist has hundreds of drawings for reference material within its pages. We’re talking about a huge variety of animals, from birds to horses, and everything in between. This is a book that is both perfect as an instructional guide, and as a reference book. It’s one you’re going to want on your shelves, if you think there’s any chance you’ll be drawing lots of animals in your future.
