Not an artistic bone in your body, you say? Even your dog's bones are more "creative" than yours, you say? Take heart! With "Drawing and Painting Animals," all that counts is your desire to try.

Page by page, you'll discover it's easier than you think to make realistic pictures of your favorite pets, barnyard critters and wild animals.

Simple exercises show you how to draw basic shapes and recognizable forms. From there, it's just a matter of combining these shapes, adding a few necessary details - and before you know it, you'll be drawing cats, dogs, bears, horses, elephants, birds and any animals you please in any pose you like! Easy-to-copy drawings throughout gives you a great head start."
