How to Draw Birds (How to Draw (Dover))

This is a very nice beginners guide to jump start your "inner artist". This book is very easy-to-follow for the very young or the very young at heart of any age.

What I love about this book is it takes clear, diagrams that start with circles, ovals and other very basic shapes and shows how to sketch realistic images of the birds. All together there's 30 different birds covered. Including a rooster, penguin, horned owl, swan, toucan, duck, heron, flamingo, robin, chickadee and many more.

These drawings look the best colored in with colored pencils or crayons, as they are very basic.

Overall, a great little drawing guide for any wannabe artist who wants to get a good jump start. Then they can move on to more detailed guides.
