This small, portable book presents more than 500 drawings for 100
species of mammals, collected into categories of habitat—land, water,
and air. In this book, artist and teacher Michel Lauricella defines the
anatomical characteristics that are common to this class of animals (to
which humans also belong) and demonstrates the links between form and
function for mammals based on their behaviors, such as burrowing,
walking, running, leaping, climbing, flying, and swimming. The
instruction and drawings in this book offer profound insights for
artists of all kinds, helping you in both your observational drawing of
mammals and your creation of imaginary animals so that they appear
realistic and believable.
Geared toward artists of all levels, from beginners through
professionals, this handy, pocket-sized book will help spark your
imagination and creativity. Whether your interest is in fine arts,
realistic representation, game design, or creating comic book or manga
art, you will find this helpful book filled with actionable insights.
