Book Overview

Jack Hamm begins with the underlying structure shared by many animals. The opening instruction covers body basics, simplified skeletons, bone and muscle relationships, feet and claws, heads, noses, eyes, ears, and the principles of animal movement.

Later sections apply these methods to cats, bears, horses, elephants, dogs, camels, giraffes, hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, deer, buffalo, cattle, pigs, monkeys, apes, kangaroos, rabbits, and other animals. The book also includes an index of animals and a closing section on animal interpretation and abstraction.

Why This Book Matters

How to Draw Animals presents animal drawing as a process rather than a collection of finished pictures. Its instruction emphasizes observation, construction, and an understanding of the body sections that recur across different animals.

The book is designed for artists and art students rather than zoologists or students of natural history. Its systematic approach makes animal anatomy and movement more accessible to readers developing their drawing technique.
