ABSTRACT

There is only one anatomical structure to understand when drawing human beings. In the animal kingdom, there are many. This vast difference leads to numerous architectural iterations for the book. Other animal drawing books present their ideas on a per animal basis, but that did not make much sense to me. The author focus was NOT to teach the reader, how to draw a bear or horse. He want the reader to leave this book with a broader understanding: FORCE in all mammals in a manner that would allow us to draw them with or without reference through the application of some simple rules. Since this book is based on the abstraction of FORCE, it made perfect sense to compose the chapters in the main three mammal locomotive classes. They are plantigrade, digitigrade, and unguligrade.
