Drawing Animal Portraits in Coloured Pencil by Lisa Ann Watkins is a clear and concise guide to drawing realistic animal portraits by an award winning artist. Animals are an ever popular subject for all kinds of artists, but many struggle to capture the character and nature of much loved pets and animals to bring them alive on the page. Lisa has mastered this art in the medium of coloured pencils, and in this book she'll share her secrets with you.
Lisa begins with a section introducing coloured pencils, watercolour pencils and supporting tools like PanPastels. A chapter follows that tackles composition and preparation, including how to capture the best reference photos from which to work. Lisa also shares her tips for using digital tools that can help you with colour selection and tonal values.
Lisa demonstrates her technique through ten studies that cover all kinds of methods that will help breathe life into your portraits like mastering furry textures, creating bright eyes and colouring glossy noses. Each study delves into the medium answering many of the questions that beginners have, like how much pressure to use and how to create your own compositions. Five more in-depth projects follow, accompanied with full step-by-step illustrations.
