{"product_id":"drawing-farm-and-zoo-animals-9780486819150","title":"Drawing Farm and Zoo Animals","description":"For the first time in a single-volume edition, this guide combines the works of two of Britain's leading 20th-century illustrators of animals, Raymond Sheppard's \u003ci\u003eDrawing at the Zoo\u003c\/i\u003e and Charles Tunnicliffe's \u003ci\u003eHow to Draw Farm Animals.\u003c\/i\u003e Artists of all skill levels will benefit from the book's tremendous variety of domestic and wild animal studies, each accompanied by helpful pointers.\u003cbr\u003eEven the smallest of zoos offers models with an abundant variety of shapes and patterns. It's not always easy to capture animals in motion, so in \u003ci\u003eDrawing at the Zoo, \u003c\/i\u003e Raymond Sheppard proposes starting with sleeping creatures and the less excitable types to help overcome the practical difficulties. Other suggestions include what \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e to do, notes on distinctive animal characteristics, and a survey of basic shapes, all illustrated by the author's own work. Charles F. Tunnicliffe, author of \u003ci\u003eHow to Draw Farm Animals, \u003c\/i\u003e grew up on a farm and drew and painted animals all his life. In addition to dozens of fascinating examples of his sketches, his book includes informative comments on farm life that provide essential tips for the realistic portrayals of horses, cattle, pigs, and sheep as well as the farmer's dog and the farmyard cat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBritish illustrator Raymond Sheppard (1913-1958) was celebrated for his drawings of nature and animals for books and magazines. He published three art instructional books with Studio Publications and is perhaps best remembered for a 1952 edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Old Man and the Sea, \u003c\/i\u003e which he co-illustrated with Charles Tunnicliffe.\u003cbr\u003eBritish naturalist painter Charles Tunnicliffe (1901-1979) was raised on a farm in rural England. His long and prolific career encompassed illustrations for more than 250 books, and he is noted for his depictions of birds and animals in their natural habitats.
