Review: Great instructions for beginners! - I absolutely love this book! I am a beginner at drawing. I started self teaching myself how to draw two months ago. This books tells you what pencils to use and the different steps of shading. They are challenging drawings but I very happy to see that I was able to finish them! I bought other books from the same collection and I love them all. Review: A Great Book About Drawing Birds - I particularly loved the types of birds featured in the tutorials, and I appreciated the fact that their natural environments were also part of each case study. ## Features - Drawing: Birds ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #298,879 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #190 in Drawing Specific Objects #250 in Figure Drawing Guides #254 in Pencil Drawing | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 590 Reviews | ## Images ![Drawing: Birds: Learn to draw step by step (How to Draw & Paint) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91PmCPTP14L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great instructions for beginners! *by I***G on April 9, 2020* I absolutely love this book! I am a beginner at drawing. I started self teaching myself how to draw two months ago. This books tells you what pencils to use and the different steps of shading.

In this book, you'll draw several different kinds of birds and learn techniques on how to render them realistically. I wish the book had spent a little more time on the structure of the wing, since that's a sticky point for a lot of artists. I like how this book goes into some detail on different types of feathers, and how to render beaks, eyes, and feet, though. My biggest complaint is my book came to me with duplicated pages in the wrong place. None of the pages are missing -- everything that should be in the book is present. For example, the page on how to render feathers is duplicated and placed closer to the end of the book. So if I want to keep going with the project in that part of the book, I have to skip past that page. Not a huge deal since no pages are missing, just very strange. ## Frequently Bought Together - Drawing: Birds: Learn to draw step by step (How to Draw & Paint) - Drawing: Flowers with William F.
