- I bought this book for my special needs daughter in the hope that it would introduce her in the art of drawing and help her to easily understand each step in drawing animals. And it did! A few days ago she surprised me by drawing a cat out of apples. The book also helped her in focusing on details and to understand proportions. I highly recommend the book.
- This was a gift for a young one in our family, nearly eight, who loves to draw and bit-by-bit is acquiring various techniques.
I chose this book because I like the approach it encourages-- to visually analyze a subject to basic shapes, re-assemble them and gradually introduce details. Constructing with simple ovals, circles, and arcs helps her learn proportions, like how to locate the ridge of the brow and the bridge of the nose etc.
To get her motivated, I tried my own hand at an animal of her choosing. I used to consider myself one of the better artists in 3rd grade, if I say so myself, so I figured my inner Da Vinci was ready after decades of incubation. Well, as my rendition of "Chunky Cat" shows, no book can turn a Cy Twombly into a Rembrandt (but I think its still decent by 3rd grade standards).
But this book definitely gives a good framework and examples for practicing and thinking about animal forms. My only wish is maybe for one more step for some of the examples, before all the details are in. - I bought this book for my 6 year old twin granddaughters. But I love it too! We are all learning to draw animals this way. One of my granddaughters is a fan of horses and she drew a passable horse based on the instructions. I will be using this book for a long time, and so will they. In fact, once you see how it's done, you can figure out how to use the same technique for different animals not in the book. Just visualize the parts of the animal and the proportions of the parts to each other. Draw the basic shapes, then add the details. I recommend this highly.
- This is exactly what I wanted. It's simple and basic and the perfect way to get started drawing animals. There's very little text which I find is a plus since I didn't want to spend on a book that had pages of explanations on drawing tools and paper, etc. This book gets right to the point with visual explanations on how to draw. It's a good place to start and when I'm comfortable I can go to a more advanced book. It's a good starting point for both kids and adults. Wish I had something like this when I was a kid!
- This book has worked very well for me. I slowly and carefully drew the step-by-step shapes and ended up with some surprisingly good results. I'm not ready to go out and draw animals in the wild yet, but the book shows how to approach somewhat complicated forms by breaking them down to easie-to-manage forms that can then be built upon and refined to give a satisfying result. Follow the simple steps; get each step done correctly, and then move onto the next step.
- There is one page of written instruction at the beginning of the book, which is all you need. The rest is just 50 pages of 6 steps for each animal. Going through these teaches you how to break the animal into shapes and build the details from there. It teaches you this without needing any text! Too many other drawing books lack intermediate steps in drawing and have too much text instruction. The best way to get better is by practicing and this books helps you do exactly that.
- We are just starting to use it - myself and my 7 year old granddaughter. It is pretty easy to follow but I would give it a little higher review if it got into some shading at some point so you could give the animals more 'depth'. There is just a little bit of a gap between the finished picture and the previous instruction pictures that makes it just a bit disconcerting in trying to follow for us two inexperienced artists but we have muddled through a couple of pictures / drawings and they turned out pretty good. I suspect as we do more they will get better and that may not be such an issue. We also ordered the Draw Flowers one, but it is a much harder book to follow - so this has been a better choice for the two of us.
- I have an art degree and have been trying to get my ADHD daughter to draw more. She has a hard time focusing. This book is perfect for her because it "chunks" the drawing process into smaller shapes. It's similar to how they help her in school academically. Thrilled to have her off her iPad!
