Christopher Hart, America's best-selling author of art instruction books, tosses all that aside to make drawing animals amazingly easy, by simplifying animal anatomy so artists can get the poses they really want. What does that animal look like as it moves, bends, twists, jumps, runs? Simplified skeletons and an innovative new approach show how to look at an animal. Hart's step-by-step instructions and clear text mean true-to-life results every time, whether the subjects are dogs, cats, horses, lions, tigers, elephants, monkeys, bears, birds, pigs, giraffes or kangaroos.

This third title in a bestselling series, "Basic Drawing Made Amazingly Easy" is a complete drawing book for the beginning artist. Based on a series of lessons that begin with the five basic shapes (circle, oval, square, cylinder and rectangle) combined with the five basic components of drawing (line, mass, perspective, light and shading), the book progresses from the simplest forms to more complex, inanimate objects and organic, animate subjects.
