Photography is discussed as a reference tool, but readers are cautioned to be interpretive and sparing with its use. Early chapters discuss animal anatomy and behavior, accompanied by lots of successful sketches and paintings. The final section is full of step-by-step demonstrations. Tips, such as animal-specific color palettes, are provided throughout. \u003cb\u003eVERDICT Animal lovers of all artistic skill levels will want to check out this guide.\u003c\/b\u003eShe started her blog in 2008 mainly to find other people with the same interest who were not at least 25 years older than her.
