Learn how to draw 101 cute baby animals from places near and far in six simple steps. What better way for budding artists age 5 and up to learn to draw baby animals than with this book of step-by-steps. Simply copy the black and white line drawings, one at a time, to create each baby animal masterpiece - puppy, kitten, bear cub, wolf pup, giraffe and many, many more. A fun way to develop artistic skills and the confidence to draw freehand pictures alone.
Each book in this series shows kids how to draw 101 objects relevant to the overall theme of the book. There is no instructional text, as the directions are shown through a series of six (with a few exceptions) simple drawing steps. Each step is shown in its own frame (rather like a comic strip) for a clean, easy to follow layout. The steps are clearly shown and do not require any erasing - kids are only drawing lines that will be visible and necessary in the finished drawing. (In some how to draw books this is not the case, as kids start with an overall shape and then have to erase bits as they add legs, tails, etc.) The end products are realistic, although some tend more towards the cartoon (i.e. in Things That Go each drawing looks realistic yet somewhat simplified, but in Animals the drawings have more of a cartoonish appearance - chubbier proportions, subtle expressions, etc.). 48 pgs, pb. - Melissa
