The opening chapters explain the importance of having a firm grasp of anatomy and an understanding of how the skeleton of an animal works, along with the functions of joints, muscles and fur. The author stresses the need to study the actual line of the animal, and how this is affected by movement, age and character. In addition to this several fundamenal problems are dealt with, for example how to draw the texture of fur, how to show foreshortening, how to capture the effects of light and shade and how to convey the character of the animal."--BOOK JACKET.
