Description
Book SynopsisThe ultimate reference guide for bird lovers or artists, this final volume in the "Denny Rogers Visual Reference Series" presents 200 meticulous and anatomically accurate drawings that capture each magnificent owl from every angle and in multiple poses. Along with comprehensive drawings, you'll find colour charts and photographs - both in-flight and at rest - to help recreate these formidable night-time hunters down to the stripes, speckles and streaks of their feathers. Also included are scale-charts for matching your desired dimensions without sacrificing proportion.
Trade ReviewAlthough aimed at artists, owlers will find this book useful. [GrrlScientist comment: I'll bet that at least a few Harry Potter fans will also love this book!]
