This book will be a valuable resource to any artist looking to do the same. I bought this book because I like to draw and paint animals and decided it is time to learn more about animal anatomy and the unseen structure of the skull as the foundation to build upon. Each includes a short explanatory paragraph and a data box with information on the animal’s taxonomy, behavior, and diet. The skulls are from the collection of Alan Dudley, a British collector and owner of what is probably the largest and most complete private collection of skulls in the world. Every skull is beautifully photographed to show several angles and to give the reader the most intimate view possible. Īt the center of Skulls is a stunning, never-before-seen-in-any-capacity, visual array of the skulls of more than 300 animals that walk, swim, and fly. Skulls is a beautiful spellbinding exploration of more than 300 different animal skulls-amphibians, birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles-written by New York Times bestselling author, Simon Winchester.
