    About this ebook

    For the first time in a single-volume edition, this guide combines the works of two of Britain's leading  20th-century illustrators of animals, Raymond Sheppard's Drawing at the Zoo and Charles Tunnicliffe's How to Draw Farm Animals. Artists of all skill levels will benefit from the book's tremendous variety of domestic and wild animal studies, each accompanied by helpful pointers.
    Even the smallest of zoos offers models with an abundant variety of shapes and patterns. It's not always easy to capture animals in motion, so in Drawing at the Zoo, Raymond Sheppard proposes starting with sleeping creatures and the less excitable types to help overcome the practical difficulties. Other suggestions include what not to do, notes on distinctive animal characteristics, and a survey of basic shapes, all illustrated by the author's own work. Charles F. Tunnicliffe, author of How to Draw Farm Animals, grew up on a farm and drew and painted animals all his life. In addition to dozens of fascinating examples of his sketches, his book includes informative comments on farm life that provide essential tips for the realistic portrayals of horses, cattle, pigs, and sheep as well as the farmer's dog and the farmyard cat.

      INTRODUCTION

      The Common Boar is, of all other domestic quadrupeds, the most filthy and impure. Its form is clumsy and disgusting and its appetite gluttonous and excessive. Thus wrote Thomas Bewick in his History of Quadrupeds, below his excellent wood-cut of the despised beast. But that was nearly one hundred and fifty years ago and since Bewick’s time many changes have occurred in the breeding and in the appearance of our domestic animals. Gone is his Black Horse, his Long Horned or Lancashire breed of cattle (except for a few remnants) and his old Tees-water breed of sheep. To-day, if you were to ask a farmer where you could find a Common Boar he would probably look perplexed and might reply "I dunno about ‘Common’ but I can tell you where there is a Large White or a Wessex Saddleback or a Tamworth boar." And there you have it:
