Learning to draw animals the right way helps a lot whether you want to become an illustrator, painter, sculptor, animator, or any other type of artist. The book Animal Drawing: Anatomy and Action for Artists teaches less about detailed anatomy and more about drawing.
You’ll learn techniques for rendering shadows, skin, fur, and more importantly accurate poses for each animal. You get a wide variety of animals to study including most zoo animals like gorillas and giraffes.
But you’ll also learn about sea creatures and the differences in scaly skin. Birds are another topic of discussion since their feathers are often difficult to render for beginners.
This is less of a detailed anatomy book and more of a guide to actually drawing animals realistically. I’d highly recommend grabbing this before you head to the zoo for some pointers during your sketching sessions.
