The basic steps for the strokes are simple, but as you learn each new pattern and stroke, you''ll watch your drawings develop into ever more complex and beautiful compositions.

By following the step-by-step instructions, you can create stunning drawings of a pigeon, swan, crane, rooster, jellyfish, goldfish, peacock, parrot, owl, raccoon, elephant, puppy, rabbit, fox, and zebraEach exercise includes a photo of the animal, followed by an illustration and written guidance for each numbered step. You''ll find helpful tips and encouragement throughout. At the back, a gallery showcase provides examples of Schin''s own artwork to inspire you in your own flourishing pursuits.
