Purchase options and add-ons

Includes fundamental information on drawing in pencil, from choosing materials to handling the tools

Many aspiring artists want to draw a portrait of their best friend-especially where their pal has four paws and fur! This newest addition to the Drawing Made Easy series pairs our best-selling medium with the wildly popular subject of dogs and puppies. Unlike similar titles on the market, this book doesn't simply provide a collection of dogs for artists to re-create exactly. Instead, the book focuses on techniques specific to drawing accurate depictions of dogs and puppies-from creating a variety of fur types and features to achieving accurate proportions-so that artists can use the knowledge to render their own canine portraits. The book also includes a series of easy-to-follow, step-by-step projects showcasing a range of dog breeds, poses and props. This allows artists to practice their developing skills, guiding them from simple sketches through the study of various techniques to polished renderings.

Fantastic--packed with helpful information

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is exactly what I wanted. It is helpful is explaining how a dog is put together--the relationship of the parts of his body. It discusses paper and pencils. It shows several techniques for drawing dog hair and the differences between the coats of different dogs. This author/artist really seems to want the reader of his book to be able to render a satisfactory likeness of a dog. And when I use the word "satisfactory", I mean a drawing that is good enough to please the artist himself. It is thoughtful, touches on so many aspects that you won't be able to absorb it in one session. (No, this is not the mother of Nolon Stacey--this is a Sunday artist who learned to draw horses from a Walter Foster book sixty years ago but can't draw a decent dog.) I don't think it is too hard for someone with little experience in drawing if they are serious about wanting to draw dogs.

Very nice step by step illustrations

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2015

Verified Purchase

A very good instructional book but I would not recommend it for a beginner because it doesn't give the basics on the actual shapes that are helpful to start to draw the animal. There was a section on drawing from a photograph which I was more interested in learning but there are also books out there by other artists that instruct using a grid to begin that I've found more helpful. Also, the section on introducing backgrounds into your picture were very helpful. I would definitely recommend this for the more advanced artists. Very helpful book to add to your drawing library.

I use this book myself for ideas and practice. My nine year old grandson wanted a copy but it's beyond his talents so far. Once he has mastered some of the basics from How to Draw Dogs (Dover How to Draw series) he may be ready to move on to some of the exercises in this book.

If you're a dog lover, the sketches alone are worth the price of admission. If you're a dog lover that wants to draw some of our four-legged friends, you'll love the book and I'm sure learn some good lessons. Good insight into producing wonderful drawings of a wide variety of pups.

Really enjoyed this book!

Great little reference book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

Great book. Gives a lot of helpful tips. I bought it specifically to practice and gain more knowledge in negative space drawing and drawing hair which are mostly my weak points. It covers each stage of the drawing process. I wouldnt say it will take you from beginner level, you would need some form if artistic ability but if like me you're used to drawing other things like landscapes and you want to broaden your skillset this book will probably be for you

dogs and puppies made easy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2009

Verified Purchase

As an artist who paints pet portraits in all media except pencil drawings I was particularly interested in the techniques and materials one should use when starting out in the medium.
I found this book excellent for my needs. It gives you all the advice you would need to start. It began with tools needed, which anyone can access and then went into details of drawing. The examples were clear and precise and were wonderful and I applaud Nolon Stacey as the artist. I know that it is essential to get the likeness 100% and the step by step instructions were very clear and precise. It certainly got me started on a different part of my career. Regards Jean Duffus

Very good book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent book for learning how to draw dogs, it's not the best only because of it's size, I have since found another that covers other animals too and is very large so you get a more lifesize image to copy. But this is still a very good book that I would recommend.

Drawing dogs in easy steps!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 28, 2012

Verified Purchase

I'd had trouble drawing dogs before I got this book. They would always look out of proportion and look expression-less as well. I tried first with the collie and the sheep in the background. You need to have a ton of patience, but the author takes you through the whole thing in easy steps. You just have to figure out what direction the fur is going and follow that with your pencils. I'd recommend this to any artist who is in the intermediate stages. It might be too much for a total beginner, but this stage is also welocme- you just need patience, as I typed before. Well done to the author of this book. He is a most talented artist. Thank you Amazon for supplying this book, too.

This is a book which gives you tips and answers to all the usual questions you would ask when trying drawing animals, particularly the hair and getting the dark and light parts in a good balance ( something i struggle with,either getting in too much detail and looking very overdone, or not enough detail, leaving it like a half finished sketch.
For me, this is my tutor on hand, any time I need help.
