Drawing: Horses: Learn to draw step by step is part of a series of tutorial art booklets aimed at beginning to intermediate artists for equestrian subjects. Released 7th May 2019 by Quarto on their Walter Foster imprint, it's 40 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats.
The titles in this series are all formatted in a similar manner and this one is no exception.
A short general introduction (10%) covers tools and materials including pencils, paper, blending tools, etc. The intro is followed by a group of non-specific tutorials on graphite techniques, shading, light, shapes and perspective. The following tutorial chapters are specific for different parts of horse anatomy: eyes, muzzles, ears, etc, leading to some full body breed specific studies.
It's worth noting that the ebook version of the eARC includes a very handy interactive table of contents. I really liked that. Each of the tutorials include 4-6 steps start to finish.
I like these tutorial booklets, they're inexpensive and full of useful info for artists looking for improvement in their own work.
Five stars - for what it covers and for a very short tutorial guide, it does the job admirably well.
Disclosure: I received an early eARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
