Whether it be doodling simple shapes, patterns and textures, or honing your drawing skills, sketching should always be a relaxing, fun activity.

With six step by step projects and additional sketches, you'll find everything you need to begin sketching your own favourite birds.

Award-winning animal artist Vic Bearcroft presents his versatile and complete guide to all aspects of drawing and painting cats. From your first pencil sketches to breathtaking finished artworks in a variety of popular and more unusual media, Vic shows you how to capture the elusive magic of cats both big and small.

Rabbits, squirrels, birds, fairies and occasionally more unpleasant characters all feature in ‘Tales from Bunny Wood’, a collection of stories written and illustrated by award-winning wildlife artist, Vic Bearcroft. Inspired by a local wildlife oasis, and imagined over many dog walks, these stories, enchanting in their own right, also highlight the importance of our wild places and the creatures that inhabit them. ‘I hope that after reading this book, others will be inspired to see their local wildlife areas in a new light and listen closely to the many stories they tell.’
