Animals in Colored Pencil

Animals are some of my favorite subjects to draw. If you love animals as I do, you will have no trouble finding the excitement and inspiration needed for great drawings. To help you get started, the book begins with helpful information about colored pencil tools and techniques. Then I will guide you step by step through a number of projects—from wild animals and farm animals to adorable pets. You will also find helpful information on drawing specific animal features in detail, such as fur and eyes. As you follow the lessons in this book, you’ll discover that colored pencils are easy to use and provide you with a good amount of control over your strokes. They are also a convenient medium; artists with limited time can stop and restart projects easily, and artists-on-the-go will find them to be very portable. So grab your paper and pencils, and let’s get started! —Debra Kauffman Yaun
