GREAT!!!,

This review is from: Drawing: Horses (HT11) (Paperback)
I am really into drawing and I am good at it. However, horses are probably the hardest animals to sketch because of their interesting shape and detail. This book makes it easy to draw all kinds of horses, starting with simple heads, advanced heads, and then progressing to full bodies, getting more challenging but keeping an easy pace as you go. Not to mention tips on keeping porportions straight, and supply suggestions. Now I really want to get "Drawing Dogs" by Walter Foster!

This review is from: Drawing: Horses (HT11) (Paperback)
this is the best book to learn how to draw horses and learn how to do shading. If you keep practicing, you won't even need to use the book anymore. This book is great for any age!

Simply beautiful!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Drawing: Horses (HT11) (Paperback)
A wonderful book with a two-page spread of a gorgeous painting which teaches more about horses than most of the gritty technical stuff can. :) I'm not a big fan of How-To-Draw books, but this one is very good because of the simple, straight-forwardness (and the awesome painting!)
