Many of you may have already purchased a copy of my book by Walter Foster, 'Drawing Lifelike Animals'. It has been in publication now for over 10 years and has been very popular. But perhaps you want more than just animals? Last month Walter Foster launched a reprint collection which incorporates my book into a larger quarto sized volume with three other artists (144pages). Titled 'Drawing Lifelike Subjects' in covers a range of subjects including flowers, landscapes and animals.
"Step-by-Step Studio: Drawing Lifelike Subjects teaches beginning artists how to create realistic, detailed drawings in graphite pencil. Featuring in-depth instruction on basic drawing techniques, creating texture, developing likeness, and more, Step-by-Step Studio: Drawing Lifelike Subjects is the perfect guide for you as a beginning or intermediate artist. After an introduction to basic materials and pencil techniques, four accomplished artists offer insight, tips, and step-by-step demonstrations that help create detailed, lifelike drawings of your chosen subjects, including animals, flowers, and landscapes. Learn to create texture and likeness using basic pencil techniques, understanding perspective, exploring light and shadow, developing values, and more." Quoted from Booktopia
Available from Amazon or Booktopia - and no doubt other online sources it could be a great addition to your drawing bookshelf! For those of you in my classes I will bring along my author's copy for you to have a look at. WF has included almost all of the material from my 'Lifelike Animals' as well as the other three artist's books. A great selection bundled into one book!
But note, I still have copies of the original 64 page book, 'Drawing Lifelike Animals' available if you would to purchase that book alone. Signed copies are available from my website HERE
