Quick Art: Pets by Isobel Lundie
Do you love drawing animals but find it hard to get the shape correct so it looks realistic? Then you will love this book! This book has easy to follow step by step instructions on how to draw your favourite pets! The book even gives you tips for creating a background for your drawing and how to use pencils and crayons to create a texture like effect, like for grass and fur. If you feel like being more creative, the book also has instructions on how to use tissue paper to colour the animals, to use chalk on black paper for a striking effect, how to add detail with paint, how to make 3D animals using paper folding techniques and many more ideas! I love the idea of a paper mosaic chameleon, I must try making this!
