DESCRIPTION:
For me, as an animator, it makes all the difference in the world."--Brian Leblanc. I used to think that these things couldn't be taught. Mattesi's lessons click in your brain, you are truly feeling this power. When Mr. Burne Hogarth's books were very helpful but they didn't teach me how to get into the Flow. How to them them Go Pow! This book gives you the direction to feel out these forces and shapes. I've always noticed there was some elusive thin that was usually missing from my figure drawings that made them less dynamic. "I have been illustrating professionally for 15 years. I am self taught, meaning I rely upon books and advice from peers

Don't hestiate; just buy it. The original Force and its sequel on character design stand out on my shelf as a pale blue stripe of fantastic drawing instruction. I was excited to see that stripe would be getting a bit wider as Mike Mattesi uses his dynamic approach to drawing to tackle the broad and difficult subject of drawing animals.The author's approach is to translate his method for drawing humans into drawing animals rather than starting fresh. Mattesi's basic principles of hierarchy and forceful drawing are outlined in the opening pages, but I'd recommend you read the original. I like how the author compares the human body with animals Treefox I like how the author compares the human body with animals. It helps make sense of how the legs work. And he covers different types of animals. Their legs and paws work differently depending on the type of animal. And making a comparison to human anatomy helps to clear up confusion about how things are supposed to bend.. Nice Tag Jones The best part of this book is the information that's offered on animal leg structure and paws or hooves. It's worth having for that info alone in my opinion. Also covers a wide variety of animals. Happy I bought it - it's a nice addition to any artist's library.
