How to Draw Animals: Easy Step-by-Step Drawings! (Dover How to Draw)

I bought this for a gift for a child that wanted to draw animals and this was PERFECT. She started right away drawing almost every creature in this book. I wish they had this when I was a kid. This coupled with a sketchbook makes a great gift for an artsy your person.

This is a gem for the price. I'm very happy with my purchase. I bought this for a six-year-old who likes to draw. Clear steps for them to move from simple shapes to a finished drawing. Thirty animals for them to draw so there is a lot of creative juice for them to use to make their own scenes. The author has included a practice page next to each lesson, but it is not really necessary as the kids will want their own drawing paper to use. But I am not an artist; maybe you would want the practice page for your child.Also, these pictures are simple, perhaps cartoonish. If you are searching for a higher level and more realistic shapes, this isn't the book for you. It was perfect for my young grandson just learning to draw.

This is an awesome book. It’s easy for kids to follow the illustrious and draw animals on their own. My grandson is very proud of his new drawing ability. Great purchase.

It's okay, but I ended up not caring for the drawings-to-follow too much. I use this book sometimes for art with my kids.

Work's great

Received this today, it is birthday for my soon to be 6 year old niece who likes to draw, especially animals. it is perfect level for her.

Cute easy and basic drawing book. My six-year-old son really enjoys drawing and learning how to draw. I figured this would be a good self-explanatory book, for him to independently practice. The instructions are very simple and basic but the outcomes are cute animals. This is a good drawing book for younger/ early drawers. Each animal comes with a blank page to practice, with a large number of animals to choose from.

Directions or sketches are not the best for beginners
