Drawing Birds : A Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Drawing Birds: A complete step-by-step guide by Marianne Taylor is a beginner-friendly instructional book for anyone wanting to draw birds accurately and expressively. Covering basic anatomy, proportion, flight and movement, and how to sketch from life, it works through a range of step-by-step projects featuring species from finches to flamingos, drawn from bird families found on every continent. Rather than aiming for slow, painstaking photorealism, the book teaches readers to understand a bird's underlying structure so they can capture its form, posture and character more quickly and confidently. Illustrated throughout in full colour, it is aimed equally at keen birdwatchers wanting to sketch what they see and aspiring artists looking to add birds to their repertoire.
