Force: Animal Drawing: Animal Locomotion and Design Concepts for Animators — 10th Anniversary Edition

Force Animal Drawing is a digital PDF guide to animal locomotion and design concepts for animators. It applies FORCE to the study of animal movement, structure, and form.

This digital download is available for instant download after purchase. The 10th Anniversary Edition includes an enlarged and enhanced selection of images applying FORCE to animals.

Written by Michael D. Mattesi, the book moves from foundational comparisons between human and animal movement to detailed studies of animal groups and a concluding discussion of animal design.

Book Overview

Force: Animal Drawing focuses on the relationship between animal anatomy, locomotion, and drawn form. Its opening chapter introduces the FORCE animal through movement comparisons, scapula movement, skeletal differences, and form.

The central chapters organize examples by foot structure: plantigrades, digitigrades, and unguligrades. The book covers a broad range of mammals, reptiles, birds, and other animals before concluding with animal design and the Law of Thirds.

This Art title is authored by Michael D. Mattesi and is aimed at animators and readers studying animal movement and design concepts.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• FORCE comparisons between humans and animals.
• Front-view comparisons of scapula movement and skeletal differences in the shoulder region.
• Plantigrade animals, including bears, raccoons, kangaroos, rodents, lizards, and primates.
• Digitigrade animals, including dogs, foxes, wolves, cats, elephants, and birds.
• Unguligrade animals, including horses, zebras, rhinos, deer, antelopes, goats, bulls, and giraffes.
• Animal design concepts, including the Law of Thirds.

Why This Book Matters

Force Animal Drawing connects animal movement with the study of form and design. Its classifications and comparisons provide a factual framework for examining how different animals move and how their structures affect drawing.

The work is especially relevant to animation because its subtitle addresses locomotion and design concepts for animators. Its wide range of animal examples supports focused study across several major animal groups.
