This impressive book is a collection of examples and a practical guide to drawing both wild and domestic animals, ranging from quick sketches to catch the movement of fast-moving animals, to longer studies for more relaxed creatures. All studies were drawn from life, often in outside locations such as wild-life parks. Details of materials and techniques used are fully described, and subjects range from large wild animals, such as the elephant, to reptiles and birds and house hold pets. Animal, like humans, have many changing moods and expressions, and Victor Ambrus shows how to capture these by drawing spontaneously and quickly. As well as being instructive, the exquisite drawing and outstanding draughtmanship will give pleasure to all.
