Title: Traced from photo references
Review: I bought this book thinking I would gain some understanding with animal anatomy but in reality all the figures are stiff and the author only encourages copying how an animal looks and not really learn and understand how an animal looks and moves.Later i've found out (after an fellow artist did some digging around) that all of these images in this book are tracings from photographs! Thats why the lion on this cover looks so damn stiff! It was copied. Nothing wrong with learning from copying from a photograph, but don't try to make money off of basically cheating and dooping people into thinking they're going to learn anything. Do your homework fellow artists and try your best to look at a real reference, and if you can't do that, get some photo books of your subject!
