How to Draw 101 Animals

When I offered this book to my friends, they told me their kids were too small to draw like this. I retorqued they, parents, could help them and despite their supposedly unability to draw (according to them), this book was a great opportunity to spend time all together drawing and learning having fun: what a luxury! In fact, one might have talent to be able to draw, but he/she still needs to practice hours to be good. I mean that nothing falls from the sky by miracle. This book about how to draw animals and it decomposes step by step the process of drawing. It is so easy and so well done! In our dimension all shapes are circles, squares, triangles...to start with. This book is a precious guide for kids or whoever, whatever the age is. Sure one will not be a Da Vinci tomorrow, as it is simplified drawings, but away from technology one will have learned something having so much fun. The book examples are really cool and there are 100, what a choice! Moreover, kids love when parents dedicate their whole attention to them. They will be grateful, and waoh, you parents will be so happy too! Just grab a sheet and pens and here you go, enjoy!

I was so excited to order this book. I am a homeschool educator and am always looking for fun and creative yet still educational activities for my kids to take part in! Every Friday this school year starting next week we will do spelling activities and then switch to Art, we will spend several hours on art and I like to keep a variety of options available! This is so perfect! The steps in the book look simple enough for even a younger child to follow yet still intriguing for an older child! We will be doing various things after we draw the animals in this book such as painting them on artist tiles and adding feathers and/or buttons to the ones we draw on card stock! Really the options are endless for using this book as a resource! The quality is perfect, the amount of drawings to complete for the price of the book is incredible! The book catering to a wide age range is a big plus!

Great book to teach kids drawing

Purchased for a gift. I think it is a nice book.

Great little step by step teaching book for drawing!

It is a fantastic book for anyone looking to improve their drawing skills or simply have fun drawing animals. The step-by-step instructions are clear and easy to follow, making it suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists.

I have purchased 3 of these now for friends and renters. It's just a very simple little book with easy to follow steps for chiildren to see and draw little animals. When I first started teaching art as my 2nd career, I started with elementary school children who whined in the beginning and ended up taking top art awards over high school later. To warm them up in the beginning, I did a very similar concept to this little book by doing a "draw along". I'd start with a big circle on the board that they would then draw at their tables ... add 2 upside down U for eyes with a circle in the middle of each ... a circle for a nose with a W under it for the mouth and on and on: A BUNNY! Once the children saw what they could do, that's all it took to get them started.

Lovely book for a child who can sit for a while to practice art. These are simple line drawings, like cartoons. To make the activity longer, keeping jr busy, encourage him/her to go further. For example, create a little zoo. Research habitat, etc. for the various animals. Make a diorama with cardboard cutouts. Years ago, before electronics, we were able to entertain ourselves. It's difficult to pry youth today away from them. Ideally, they can manage to occupy their time, with creative projects, without the dreaded statement, "I'm bored." Setting aside time for animal sketching as a family activity might help. This book can be a springboard for a myriad of projects with some preplanning. A trip to an urban zoo, sketching there and at home, might provide motivation for budding artists. At an early age, they all are that.

era o que eu esperava, demorou a chegar mas chegou em ótimas condições

Love this

Great book for kids... it was helpful for the kids to do their project in zoo. My kids aged 5 and 6 loved this book

Aún no lo ve porque es para navidad pero está muy didáctico me encantaron los dibujos excelente compra

I bought this for my daughter, who is six, and she loves it as it means she can now draw animals that look like animals!! It is excellent as it breaks the drawing into manageable steps and really gives her a sense of achievement. Highly recommended.
