Drawing: Birds: Learn to draw a variety of amazing birds step by step (How to Draw & Paint) Paperback – March 15, 2013

I found this short book very detailed and descriptive. I appreciated the pictures along the way. I will look into others by him.

I gave it to my granddaughter for Christmas, she loves it.

I love these "learn to draw" books where there are a bunch of projects for you to basically follow step-by-step. In this book, you'll draw several different kinds of birds and learn techniques on how to render them realistically.I wish the book had spent a little more time on the structure of the wing, since that's a sticky point for a lot of artists. I like how this book goes into some detail on different types of feathers, and how to render beaks, eyes, and feet, though.My biggest complaint is my book came to me with duplicated pages in the wrong place. None of the pages are missing -- everything that should be in the book is present. For example, the page on how to render feathers is duplicated and placed closer to the end of the book. So if I want to keep going with the project in that part of the book, I have to skip past that page. Not a huge deal since no pages are missing, just very strange.

Good guide for beginner artists

I particularly loved the types of birds featured in the tutorials, and I appreciated the fact that their natural environments were also part of each case study.

This book is not very good for advanced drawers and even worse for beginners. It also doesn't have very many drawings. This means it has limited angles and poses of birds and very few different bird types. I won't be buying these types of books from this publisher again.

I absolutely love this book! I am a beginner at drawing. I started self teaching myself how to draw two months ago. This books tells you what pencils to use and the different steps of shading. They are challenging drawings but I very happy to see that I was able to finish them! I bought other books from the same collection and I love them all.

hubby loves it. Been staying inside a lot(like everyone) and can only watch just so much television.
