How to Draw all Animals:

Book review:

Great for beginners, intermediates & up. Created in 1969, it’s *still* a bestseller today. This is an *amazing* work in detail & scope. If you thought Drawing the Head and Figure was packed with information, wait till you see this slim, detailed book(!).

Entirely black & white- mostly pencil, sometimes ink- It begins with a general comparison between popular animals & types (pages 1-19)- which really makes this book shine for those who don’t draw animals often. This section includes a few skeleton structures, as well as comparative standard basic shapes & actions. These 1st 19 pages may be the BEST in the book. Hamm then proceeds to detail specific animal types. He gives us the simple basic shapes for all popular species, as well as a wealth of construction hints, tips, and tricks for those involved with drawing from memory. Yet- this book is *only* about mammals: No insects, birds or reptiles here…

As expected, popular animals get more attention then others.
