This newest addition to the "Drawing Made Easy" series pairs our best-selling medium with the wildly popular subject of dogs and puppies. Unlike similar titles on the market, this book doesn't simply provide a collection of dogs for artists to re-create exactly. Instead, the book focuses on techniques specific to drawing accurate depictions of dogs and puppies - from creating a variety of fur types and features to achieving accurate proportions - so that artists can use the knowledge to render their own canine portraits. The book also includes a series of easy-to-follow, step-by-step projects showcasing a range for dog breeds, poses, and props. This allows artists to practice their developing skills, guiding them from simple sketches through the study of various techniques to polished renderings.
Nolon Stacey currently undertakes a variety of commissioned work, ranging from portraits of people and pets to buildings and street scenes. He lives in Boroughbridge, England.
