As Laws writes, \"To draw feathers, you must understand how feathers grow, overlap, and insert into the body. To create the body, you must have an understanding of the bird’s skeletal structure. To pose this skeleton, you must be able to perceive the energy, intention, and life of the bird.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis how-to guide will perfect the technique of serious artists but also, perhaps more importantly, it will provide guidance for those who insist they can’t draw. Leading the mind and hand through a series of detailed exercises, Laws delivers what he promises: that \"drawing birds opens you to the beauty of the world.\" An Audubon Book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore journaling titles by John Muir Laws:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Laws Guide to Nature Drawing and Journaling\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow to Teach Nature Journaling\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Laws Sketchbook for Nature Journaling\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Muir Laws","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42961792696438,"sku":"9781597141956","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_8fe9ca9b-88e0-479a-915e-27aa5eefc294.jpg?v=1774733333","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/the-laws-guide-to-drawing-birds-9781597141956","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
