If you are looking for some inspiration for drawing animals and different creatures, this is the book for you. You'll find a beautiful illustrated guide with the most wonderful animals, plants and creatures. Its a great book for kids, teens and adults. And if you're an art or design student, this is an essential in your library. The Creature Garden by Zanna and Harry Goldhawk is a nifty drawing guide to help budding artists get the hand of drawing various sorts of animals. At the beginning, there are sections for tools, and basic tutorials such as working patterns. Here you will also find a friendly reminder that everyone starts somewhere, and you should refrain from comparing yourself to other artists who may have been at it decades longer than you. This only serves as discouragement that you can avoid. The next several sections focus on classes of critters, from mammals, to ocean life, birds, insects, and even mythic creatures. These large sections are further broken down, with specific guidelines to help with that particular type of animals. For instance, the Mammals section kicks off with big cats. There are interesting facts accompanying each animal, most of which are assets to drawing them. Well worth it for any interested in drawing beasties! ***Many thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Their tutorials are for simplified, stylized animals, creatures and plants that you can paint in any medium you prefer. Each step-by-step tutorial starts with the basic geometric shapes of the animal and end with a fully colored and detailed drawing (number of steps vary but around 5 for creatures and 2-3 for botanicals). It has the same simplicity of drawing books for kids but it takes it up a notch by adding more details in their patterns and textures. It's divided into mammals, ocean life, birds, insects, mythical creatures (unicorns! pegasus!) and botanicals.
For those at the beginning of their artistic path, I would recommend you to pay special attention to the first pages and "a note from the authors" as there is really good personal advice for those who are just starting.
I requested an eArc from the publisher, thank you! ( )
