Draw Like an Artist: 100 Realistic Animals HOW TO USE THIS BOOK There are many tools, media, and styles in which to draw animals. This book uses some techniques I have learned over the years and will show you the methods I have found most useful for understanding the basics of drawing realistically. The figures and steps can be copied directly to achieve a finished drawing, and the process and method can be used for drawing many other subjects, whether plants, animals, or anything else. Basic Drawing Process Begin the drawing with your harder pencil so your lines will be light and easy to erase—but make sure you do not press too hard and make an indent on the paper. Once you are satisfied with your shapes and basic contour, go over the drawing with your soft pencil or drawing pens. You can then erase your lighter pencil lines for a clean, finished drawing. Blocking in the Figure Every subject in this book begins with a solid shape or shapes to describe the general proportions of the body and head of the animal. It’s important to establish the correct proportions in the first step: How large is the head relative to the body? What is the general shape of the animal’s pose and main body sections? Suggested Materials Graphite pencil. At a minimum, you should have a standard HB pencil. Felt tip pens or brush pens Smooth paper, at least 80lb Eraser. I recommend a kneaded eraser.
