Dear Reader; Here is your book. Take it; run with it; pass it; punt it; enjoy all the many things that you can do with it; but-above all-read it. Like all textbooks; it was written to help you increase your knowledge; unlike all too many textbooks that you have bought; it will be fun to read. A preface usually tells of the authors reasons for writing the book and the authors goals for the reader; followed by a swarm of other important matters that must be attended to yet fit nowhere else in the book. I am fortunate in being able to include an insightful prepublication review that goes directly to my motivations and goals. (Look for it following this preface.) That leaves only those other important matters. In preparing the text; I consulted a number of books; chief of which included these: bull; S.

The authors writing style is easy to read for the contemporary artist and his advice on composition; perspective; etc. are sound. His suggestions on how to draw a living moving animal are the result of years of experience. The book has delightful gestural sketches by the author as well as a number of bw photos of paintings; both thoughtfully chosen to illustrate his ideas.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

The images and labeling were so pale as to be unreadible. Hopefully the replacement will be correct as it is a great book for drawing animal anatomy.
