Freak'n Fantastic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
What a great book! I do furry art and needed some pointers on how to draw animal people forms. This is the only book I've ever seen that explains how to do it. Easy and precise instructions on all types of animal people, cats, dogs, turtles, bears, etc. You name it, it is in here. It teaches anatomy and really helped me with animal type legs with three joints. I like Steve's art, but Brett Booth is the master! Book was worth it just to stare at his fabulous characters. Please, please, please, do another book just like this one, but with more cartoon furry type art.
Great idea book

I bought this book and refer to it continually when I need ideas or inspiration. It is not a traditional how to draw book in that there isn't step by step instructions on how to draw each "animal head person" in the book, but guidelines. The expectation, I think, is that the reader will practice putting together the basic shapes and learn from the abundance of illustrations. This would be a good book to pair with another drawing book. A lot of the poses are superhero style. There isn't a huge focus on basic drawing skills; for younger readers, Lee Hammond covers these well in her drawing books. Older readers might want to check out "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain".
Awesome

This is the best book ever written (and the only I think) about Anthropomorphic creatures.. It helped me so much. It's goes through all the importent stuff that you need to know before drawing humans and animals. And a lot of the illustrations are drawn by my fave artist; Brett Booth. His art is to die for. You learn how to draw eyes, wings, legs, torso and so on.. This is definetly the best book I've ever bought. And at a reasonable price. I LOVE IT.. =3
Animal People Fun
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I bought this book for my 12 year old son because he loves to draw comic book and video game characters. I was surprised at how well his drawings improved by just using some of the simple advice from the author. It is neat to see him come home from school and go into his room to draw instead of immediately turning on the tv or a video game.

Great Book! The title is a little misleading, Fantasy makes me think of Hobbits and Trolls, but this book is all about Animal People or Animorphs. Great art, great instructions, and helpful advice.
