Let’s learn how to draw animals together ! There are few things morefascinating and beautiful on Earth than animals. They come in all shapes and
forms—from tiny birds to gigantic elephants, sweet deer to sly foxes, and stripedzebras to spotted giraffes. You can pick your favorite animals from this book to draw,
or you can think of animals that I haven’t included. There are forty-five different
types of animals in this book, but that’s just a tiny number out of all the animals
out there! Next time you are at the zoo, keep an eye out for the unusual animals
you haven’t heard of before. For example, have you ever heard of a capybara ?
A capybara is the largest rodent in the world. That means it belongs to the same
family as squirrels and bunnies, but it is as big as a dog!
Even the same types of animals come in so many varieties that it’s impossible
to draw them just one way. At first glance, a family of zebras might look very similar,
but if you look closely you will notice that they don’t have the same identical stripes.
Think of yourself—you might look a little bit like the
rest of your family, but you don’t look exactly like
them. Every single animal looks special in its own
way, so I made sure that each drawing is a little
different from the last.
HOW TO USE TH IS BOOKThese drawings are all made up of a combination of lines, shapes, and patterns.
Look for squares, circles, straight lines, and squiggly lines to help break down the
pictures, and then try copying the different animal drawings using those simple
elements. Draw the big shapes and lines first, and then add in the smaller details.

If you have tracing paper, you can trace the drawings directly, but don’t worry about
getting them exactly the same. When you think you have gotten the hang of it, try
drawing your own!
Try to start out with a pencil and eraser so that you’re not afraid of making
mistakes. When you feel more comfortable with drawing, explore by using many
different types of tools—pens, colored pencils, markers, or even paints. Color in the
existing drawings and then color in your own drawings. If you are feeling especially
adventurous, you can cut out paper shapes and paste them on the blank pages.
It’s always fun to try as many things as possible to decide what you like the best.
See how many different pictures you can come up with of your favorite
animals. How many ways can you draw a turtle shell? You can make it a circle,
square, or irregular shape. Think about what you can draw inside the shell. You can
fill it with stripes, little spots, big spots, squares of different sizes, or just fill it in
with a solid color. You can also decide to draw nothing inside the shell if you thinkit looks best that way, since sometimes less is more.
Don’t forget to show your friends and family
when you’re done. Or even better yet, ask them if
they want to make some drawings of their favorite
animals, too!
