Drawing Animal Portraits in Coloured Pencil

Lisa Ann Watkins

Description

Draw realistic animal portraits in coloured pencils with award-winning teacher and animal artist, Lisa Ann Watkins. The author has made a career of teaching her coloured pencil techniques, and in this magnificent book she will show you how.

A section on materials covers coloured pencils and watercolour pencils, along with supporting tools including PanPastels. This is followed by a chapter about composition and preparation: how to capture the best reference photographs from which to work, along with notes on digital tools that can be used to help with colour choice and tonal values.

Lisa's clear, simple techniques are presented through ten studies that demonstrate how to breathe life into your portraits by focusing on the subject's fur texture, bright eyes, and glossy noses. Plus there are five step-by-step full animal portrait projects ranging from cats and dogs to cows and horses.
