Draw Like an Artist: 100 Cartoon Animals

Draw Like an Artist: 100 Cartoon Animals is a step by step tutorial book for learning to draw a large variety of cartoon animals in approximately 6 steps from initial lines to completed animal. It is perfect for children and beginner artists alike. The drawings are simple but fun. and will sharpen your observation skills as well as improve your drawing ability. There are different styles and lots of animals to complete so something for everyone. Overall a great little book.

Definitely a book I'm interested in purchasing for my 6 year old niece who loves to draw!

The first several pages provide advice and instruction and the remaining pages are dedicated to sketching 100 cartoon animals. Each cartoon shows a progression of six steps from initial lines to finished cartoon. All simply shown on the same page. Very clean and simple. This format really "draws you in" and makes it look so easy that you want to just give it a try.

Really loved Draw Like an Artist: 100 Cartoon Animals.

Interested in Drawing Simple Cartoon Animals?
Independent animated film maker Keilidh Bradley presents her book "Draw Like an Artist: 100 Cartoon Animals. Step-by-Step Creative Line Drawing - A Sourcebook for Aspiring Artists and Designers", published by Quarto Publishing Group – Quarry. The book is part of the series "Draw Like an Artist... " The book is divided into nine sections: 1) Domestic Mammals, 2) African Mammals, 3) Asian Mammals, 4) Australian Mammals, 5) European Mammals, , 6) Mammals, 7) Amphibians and Aquatic Creatures, 8) Birds, and 9) Reptiles. In the introduction under "How to use the book" Bradley writes: "In cartooning, there are limitless styles available to draw in—the only limit is your imagination! Therefore, this book demonstrates a range of approaches to animal character design, from flat, graphic shapes to more realistic and dimensional construction. I recommend trying a few of the approaches to identify one you feel most comfortable with, then do more in that style. As you progress, you can take the skills learned from following one method to tackle more challenging animals" (p.6).
The book presents a great variety of animals. Although the last sketch for every animal is done in black-gray-white it needs little imagination to color them if one so desires. I have to confess that I am a beginner when it comes to drawing. Every animal is presented with six sketches which will be really a help for the aspiring artist. I highly can recommend this book for beginners who like to engage in drawing.
The complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley free of charge. I was under no obligation to offer a positive review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
