Basic Structure of Animals

The video tutorial explains how to draw various animals by understanding their basic structures, focusing on mammals like horses, dogs, cats, and giraffes, as well as non-mammals like sharks, birds, and crocodiles. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing common elements such as rib cages, spines, and pelvises, and how these can be adapted to different species. The tutorial concludes by encouraging viewers to use these basic structures to draw animals from imagination.
