Learning to draw animals can be both fun and easy when you are shown correctly right from the start. So why not learn from the master teacher who is credited to have inspired Walt Disney to start drawing and pursue his animating career. Author and illustrator Edwin George Lutz is the man, and he is famous for his method of breaking down complex illustrations into simple step-by-step stages that anyone can follow. Many fine artists and illustrators over the decades have used his technique, and the classic teachings in this book will show you how as well. In this remarkable 152 page course you will learn how to draw a fantastic range of cartoon-like animals. It is divided into 3 sections: - Creatures Of The Land, Creatures Of The Air, and Creatures Of The Water.
Animals included are dogs, cats, horses, elephants, birds, fishes, butterflies, rabbits, monkeys, bears, owls, bees, star fish, pigs, frogs, prairie-dogs, mice, chickens, a camel, cow, crab, dragonfly, fox, giraffe, kangaroo, chipmunk, goat, buffalo, raccoon, sea horse, snail, and a tortoise.
This book is aimed at teaching children (although it's great for any beginner no matter the age), and the choice of pictures is designed to keep a child fascinated. There are over one hundred animals to draw, and the method makes for a magical experience making drawing easy and delightfully interesting.
The book provides a step-by-step system that fixes the object in memory and develops naturally a physical skill and a memorized knowledge of proportion and form. Images are broken down into simple key-lines, which are then built upon with clear step-by-step instructions, resulting in impressive drawings.
Instructions are very brief, for the key-lines of each object tell their own story and the child is entranced by the results soon gained. The youngest child may grasp the magic progress of this way of working and he or she will quickly learn to draw the picture naturally and well.
We think anyone who applies the knowledge contained within this course will be delighted with their results, and the speed and ease at which they attain them.
