Introduction
If you are fond of animals, and like to learn and draw them, this book is for you. Drawing animals isn’t new, as we know it was already done by our ancestors from 40,000 years ago, mostly seen in Prehistoric cave paintings, it’s painted on walls and ceilings, most images that are drawn were; Horses, Deer, Bison and large wild cattle called Auroch
. Their tools for drawing include Charcoal, Hematite, and some coloring pigments. Today we have graphite pencils and other efficient drawing tools, if you can see the style of their drawings, there are already forms, especially there line drawings, They only lack for what I can say are the definition, depth and proportion, I can’t argue of their style, if they did that intentionally or not, as we look and compare it to Renaissance art that have Perspective, Emotion, Light and Shadows, and a Realistic touch.
This book will help you draw realistic animals in pencil, along the way we will be learning, how we can see through things to make your drawing easy and fun, I will be guiding you through step by step, and after you finish the course you will be drawing animals that you like, like your pet, or friends and neighbors or somebody’s pet, your school drawing projects, you can impress your teacher (a plus from your drawing skill), or make a living out of your Animals Portrait drawings. Which I’m looking forward to, and I will be happy to hear from you, if that day will happen. And also get a copy of my other book Learn How to Draw Portraits of Famous People in Pencil for the Absolute Beginner
, it’s a good companion for this book, it will teach you how to draw Human Portraits. And don’t forget to read some other titles.
Drawing Materials
Pencils
The most important tool, made from Graphite with a mixture of Clay, soft pencils like B have little amount of clay or not at all, used for outlining and giving texture to your drawing, comes in different scales: H(Hard), F, HB, and B(Soft) varying grades like 9H(lightest)to 9B(darkest)range.
For our drawings we need the following: 4H, 2H, F, HB, 2B and 6B, but if you’re short of supplies, you can use HB only, just apply pressure when you want a darker tone and light pressure for light tone.
Mechanical Pencils
Like Pencils the lead is also made of Graphite, Good for details, come in handy especially for tight areas, the difference is it doesn’t need a sharpener if the lead breaks, just press the cap on the end of the pencil and it’s good to go, it comes in different sizes: 0.2mm to 5.6mm, for our drawing 0.5 will just be suffice.
Erasers
• Kneaded Eraser
This is like a clay or putty eraser, which can be mold to any difference shape and thickness, depending to your needs, it can lift Graphite in the paper without any damage, good for tight areas, can lighten areas in your drawing, and used for making highlights in your drawings to make it more realistic. Need to be replaced if it is already dark due to accumulation of Graphite.
• Vinyl Eraser
This kind of eraser does not smudge the surface of the paper; it can erase hard and tough areas totally especially for large areas, and does not harden.
