The Artist's Guide to Animal Anatomy

Ilustrated with diagrams and numerous examples by artists and students, this easy-to-follow guide for drawing animals offers a systematic approach to learning proportion, rules of repose and motion, and basic forms. Using the anatomic details of such representative animals as the horse and the cow, the student learns how to modify these drawings to portray a dog, lion, and other subjects. Directions also show how to draw subjects in poses that range from static to rapidly moving. Other topics cover proportion and drawing the hind leg, foreleg, trunk, head and whole figure.
