Art Anatomy of Animals

A prolific author of books on wildlife the great naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton was also an accomplished illustrator. Noting a dearth of general zoological anatomies for artists he took it upon himself to create one. This volume is the result of his efforts. In it he provides a definitive artist's-eye view of the exterior anatomy of animals helping readers depict surface features such as hair or fur as well as basic body and facial structures.<br>Chapters cover a number of domesticated and wild species: the anatomy size and proportion of the lion tiger leopard and other members of the cat family; bears (including the grizzly European brown American black and the polar bear); as well as the camel Indian elephant and the caribou. Additional sections consider the horse in motion the gallop of a dog and bird feathering.<br>One of the most widely consulted books on the subject <i>Art Anatomy of Animals</i> will be a valuable addition to the libraries of both instructors and students of art.
