Learning to draw a wide range of animal textures, from fur to scales, requires learning many line patterns and techniques. None are complicated, but it does take practice to understand which type of line will best mimic the short fur on a mouse body compared to the long and thick coat found on a llama, or which type of line creates the dry, bumpy feel found on a toad versus the wet, smooth feel found on a whale.
As with any activity requiring hand and eye coordination, it is crucial to visualize the path you want to take. You’ll need to study the animal closely and think through the predominant line styles needed to best capture the look and feel of the animal you want to draw. Each animal in this book comes with a list of the primary types of line techniques you’ll need to use to create the animal, but before you start putting pen to paper, I highly recommend taking the time to do a few practice runs with the techniques and line styles that best mimic the animal surface you’re about to draw.
You’ll learn how to build up the realistic look and feel of each of these animals by combining different line techniques.
