My 12 year old daughter started expressing an interest in arts, crafts, and drawing 2 years ago. Since that time we’ve been supplying her with how-to books and art supplies. She’s very artistic and creative, unlike her mother. I think she gets her creativity from her grandmother.

Drawing Lessons for Beginners – Cute Animals by Ai Akikusa is the perfect how-to book for anyone who wants to learn how to draw. This can be for older children, teenagers, and/or adults. You’ll learn all about the basic supplies that you’ll need and you’ll start out learning how to draw animals using basic shapes. Basically, you’ll need a sketch pad or paper and pencils.
Using basic shapes you’ll make the animal’s head, body, and details like ears, legs, feet, tail, etc. The author teaches you how to do this step-by-step. Once you learn one skill, you’ll build upon it with another. Each step is illustrated inside the book to help guide you.

With Drawing Lessons for Beginners: Cute Animals, you can learn to draw a virtual ark of amazing animals, from an aardvark to a zebra, even if you’ve never tried to draw before. This fun and easy step-by-step guide shows you how to outline the basic shapes of each animal’s head, body, and details like ears, legs, feet, and tail in pencil. Then add color and finishing touches like fur, patterns, and textures in colored pencil.
In the book the author does a wonderful job at teaching you how to draw balanced bodies, facial balance, etc. Included on how to make variations on the basic dog. You can sit and draw all of the animals or pick and choose the ones that you like.
My daughter adores Sloths, Sea Lions, Polar Bears, Chipmunks, and Cats. So, she’s been practicing those the past few days. Sloths are her ultimate favorites!!!
