Product Description
Capturing the likeness of animals on paper is a rewarding challenge for any artist. Domesticated dogs, our most familiar furry friends, bring forth a unique blend of trials for artists trying to replicate their features accurately. The incredible range of breeds, colors, sizes and shapes is further enhanced by the never-ending poses each can assume, from sitting and sleeping to working and fighting. Each dog is, at best, an individual, and bringing forth those special aspects of each animal's character will make any artist's drawings come to life. Artist Melvyn Petterson offers advice for capturing the essence of these animals, both young and old, purebreds and mutts, along with tips for portraying their features accurately, drawing fur in different media, and mastering a range of poses. * A practical guide to capturing one's dog on paper, with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions * Covers all aspects of drawing dogs in different media, including charcoal, graphite pencil, watercolor pencils and oil pastels * Illustrated with an inspiring collection of dog drawings that will appeal to artists and animal lovers

Excellent Guide to drawing dogs!!! January 5, 2004
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
I have spent lots of money on "learn to draw" books that detailed simple sketches, practice drawings and lack of detail. I was looking for a book that focused on key features, expressions, detailed aspects such as fur, coats, faces and color. I am happy to say I found my book!
Although this book may not be for the beginner, for those who have some knowledge and experience of drawing and pencil shading it is a wonderful guide to drawing our beloved K-9s!
I highly recommend this book, it has gone beyond the expectations I had for it.
