Featuring detailed exercises on feathers, anatomy, and posture, this book is perfect for beginners and seasoned artists alike, boasting a 4.8-star rating from over 1,600 reviews and ranking top in birdwatching and figure drawing categories. ## Description John Muir Laws's guide to drawing birds is itself winged, soaring between a devotion not only to art but also to the lives, forms, and postures of the birds themselves. Here, artistic technique and the exquisite details of natural history intertwine, and drawing becomes the vehicle for seeing. As Laws writes, "To draw feathers, you must understand how feathers grow, overlap, and insert into the body. To create the body, you must have an understanding of the bird’s skeletal structure. To pose this skeleton, you must be able to perceive the energy, intention, and life of the bird." This how-to guide will perfect the technique of serious artists but also, perhaps more importantly, it will provide guidance for those who insist they can’t draw. Leading the mind and hand through a series of detailed exercises, Laws delivers what he promises: that "drawing birds opens you to the beauty of the world." An Audubon Book.

I love birds and like to draw but am quite hopeless. I spent hours drawing a pigeon and felt semi proud of my efforts until someone said, "Oh, is it a duck?" !!! and, "I didn't know ducks have eyelashes"!!! Spoilt my day and dented my ego I can tell you! LOL. Anyway, the Internet says drawing is practice and knowing the basics - which I obviously had no idea of....until I got this fabulous book. Now I have hope of learning how to really 'see' what I am looking at and am being shown the concepts behind capturing what I am actually looking at...a pigeon and not a duck!!!! Its so well written for the adult beginner -and I am not a young beginner! it's a beautiful book. It's well written and beautifully illustrated and will be a boon to me - talentless person as I am but with a hope to become a decent "artist" one day. I love, love, love this book. It will become my favorite reference tool and my teacher and I absolutely do recommend it to the beginner...and those, like me, who are trying really hard to grasp the art of drawing.
