Still my go to book to use as a makeshift lapdesk for drawing, after all these years. :P

کتاب خوبی است ولی نه برای مبتدیان
دست گرم و ماهری باید داشته باشید که به طراح نزدیک شوید
مخصوصا که حیوانات قلق و ظریف کاری خوبی میخواهند
و خوشبختانه طراح از باغ وحش ها و روستاها استفاده بسیار خوبی برای هرچه زنده تر نگه داشتن اسکیس های خود داشته است

Not really a how to book, but gorgeous loose drawings for inspiration, and some brief notes on what he did.
