Library Journal - Jan 16 2025
Artist Robinson's charming guide to drawing flowers, insects, birds, and small animals offers beginner artists easy-to-follow instructions and ample encouragement to start honing their skills with whatever supplies they have on hand. Beginning with a section devoted to flowers of different shapes and complexity of detail, Robinson shows readers how to build drawings around key elements of a subject such as the center of a bloom or a bird's eye. In the initial section, the author introduces readers to methods of shading, while the second section, on insects, provides techniques for creating texture when drawing subjects, including butterflies, beetles, and moths. The final sections, which outline projects for drawing birds and small mammals, bring together the skills learned earlier in the book, and Robinson leaves readers with advice for future growth, emphasizing the importance of observation and practice to one's artistic development. Example artworks, photos, and suggested palettes for each project encourage readers to add color to their finished pieces.
VERDICT Simple instructions, practical advice, and colorful examples make this a wonderful resource for aspiring artists interested in capturing elements of the natural world.
