I like to carve and when I saw this book with it's exquisite photos and color, I picked it up. Although I never found time to use it, you won't be disappointed with it. Contains pattern , techniques, and painting instructions as well. I certainly wish I could carve like Todd Swaim!

Mammals: An Artistic Approach Review

This book was well worth the money because it is so thorough. Desiree Hajny takes you all the way from rom transferring your pattern to the final painting . She has an unusual way of finishing her animals with power tooks and a woodburner to make hair look very realistic. She must use a really hot setting with her woodburner because the photos show her animals getting dark in a hurry! But I've seen the finished product of other carvers who follow her instruction and they look just great!
The patterns in this book show front, both sides, top and back views, which is an immense help to the carver.
