10-Step Drawing Animals Book by Heather Kilgour
I admit, I have no artistic talent whatsoever. I enjoy dabbling in arts and crafts, but it’s just not my thing. However, my 9 year old daughter loves various arts & crafts mediums and is pretty good at them.

The 10-Step Drawing Animals Book by Heather Kilgour is a wonderful instructional book for older children, teens and adults. The book will teach you how to draw 75 animals in 10 easy steps! All you need to get started is a pen or pencil and a piece of paper.
With this book you’ll learn to create an awe-inspiring array of different animals. Step by step, you’ll create creatures both wild (bald eagle, armadillo, meerkat, dung beetle) and domesticated (donkey, camel, duck, goat). The animals include those from the sea (whale, sea turtle, jellyfish, walrus) and the woodland (snail, fox, raccoon, river otter). You’ll also learn to draw your favorite pets (cat, dog, rabbit, guinea pig).
There are step-by-step instructions and diagrams and each animal can be made in just 10 easy steps. The author takes you through each step showing you which element to draw next and where you need to erase your previous lines. She breaks it down into an easy-to-understand format with most of the animals being drawn quickly.
My 9 year old daughter has really been enjoying this new book! I went out to a local “discount” type of store and picked up a sketch pad and some new pencils. If you’re giving this book as a gift, I suggest you do the same. She flipped through the book and marked down which animals she wanted to try to draw first. It took her longer to decide on which one, than it did to actually draw the animal! This book is going to keep her busy all summer long!
She finally decided to draw a Giraffe. Last year she spent hours upon hours watching April the Giraffe on the Live Cam and watched the live birth. She loves giraffes, so it was no surprise to me that she started with that section. I think her first Giraffe turned out beautifully. Don’t you? It took her about 40 minutes to draw.
