A Real Gem,

This review is from: The Art of Animal Drawing: Construction, Action Analysis, Caricature (Dover Art Instruction) (Paperback)
Originally published in 1950, these drawings remind meof the old Disney cartoon classics animals. Ken's animals express emotions, movement, and come to life. Ken keeps writing to a minimum, sharing excellent insights and tips; while the majority of the book speaks for itself in his drawings. I found this book to be truly helpful in improving my own animal drawings. His insights can be very useful, and solved some problems for me. His drawings range from very simple to very impressive work. This is definitely a book worth studying.

Give your art a breath of life,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Animal Drawing: Construction, Action Analysis, Caricature (Dover Art Instruction) (Paperback)
Are you tired of drawing animals that seem flat and lifeless? Then this book is definately for you. Ken Hultgren does more than merely teach you to draw, he teaches you how to draw with the illusion of movement, and how to put life into the image.

Excellent Images but could use more words,

This review is from: The Art of Animal Drawing: Construction, Action Analysis, Caricature (Dover Art Instruction) (Paperback)
I just recently got this book and I must admit, as a graphic designer, this book is quite helpful with learning more of the different animals' anatomy and structure but the only negative thing I can say is that it could be even more helpful if it had more words in it to go along with the images he shows you. Adding some instructions would help a long ways to showing a person how he got to each image. But all in all, it's very helpful.
