This helpful instructional volume by a renowned artist and teacher offers a wealth of well-illustrated advice on depicting all manner of birds. British illustrator Raymond Sheppard was celebrated for his nature and animal studies, and this book combines two of his most valuable guides, <i>How to Draw Birds</i> (1940) and <i>More Birds to Draw</i> (1956). <br>Suitable for beginners as well as advanced artists, this single-volume edition of Sheppard's two great guides provides in-depth studies of the shapes and visual construction of a variety of birds, from domestic fowl to birds on the wing. Topics include anatomy; the representation of wings, feathers, and flight; and details for drawing beaks, feet, and plumage. Common birds such as thrushes, redwings, blackbirds, and starlings appear here, along with many other species, in addition to ducks in and out of the water and birds of prey such as the barn owl, buzzard, and golden eagle. Written with clarity and infectious enthusiasm, <i>Drawing Birds</i> offers an abundance of pointers that will benefit amateur and professional artists alike.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>British illustrator Raymond Sheppard (1913-1958) was celebrated for his drawings of nature and animals for books and magazines.
