Description
Focusing on carved wooden lions, tigers and jaguars, the author presents anatomical information, reference images, and project ideas.
Review
I don't carve wood, so I can't speak for the usefulness of the woodcarving sections, but I do like the many pictures and decent, simple anatomy images. As a carving book, it has a more 3D approach than the drawing and painting books I usually read for inspiration. A few of her cat faces seemed "off" to my eye, but on the whole it's a useful book.
