Animals are an eternally popular subject for artists but how do you capture the character of a much-loved pet or bring a favourite animal to life on the page? Lisa Ann Watkins has made a career of teaching her coloured pencil techniques, and in this magnificent book she will show you how.

Lisa's clear, simple techniques are presented through ten studies that demonstrate how to breathe life into your portraits by focusing on fur texture, bright eyes, and glossy noses.

Lisa also covers common technical questions from students focussing on unique aspects of the medium such as the amount of pressure to use, whilst a series of five step-by-step full animal portrait projects ranging from cats and dogs to cows and horses give you the opportunity to put your learning into action.

This is an accessible masterclass not only in animal portraiture, but also in the medium of coloured pencil - an absolute must-have for aspiring animal and pencil artists.
