When starting out with drawing projects, one really large area to explore is animal drawing for kids. They might be exotic ones that live in a far away land, or are part of classroom studies, or maybe even just the family pet. Either way, drawing animals for kids is sure to include practice drawing bodies of all shapes and sizes, and mostly likely be something kids are already fascinated with. Below are a few of the most popular how to draw animals for kids in my collection. A click on any image will take you to that project.
One way to keep kids interested in animal drawing is to support them in getting some quick and happy results. Drawing for hours from fuzzy photos without any advice would frustrate anyone. That’s why step by step instructions, with clear and simple lines, can make such a big difference. They do wonders to help kids see the edges of things, which photos will never provide. They also show them how to start, continue and finish to make a drawing they can be truly proud of.
When kids can view all the steps at a glance, they start to understand that drawings don’t just happen, they are kind of built, little by little and step by step. And, as with anything in life, the more care and attention they are given, the greater the possibilities with their results. That’s why a large finished sample drawing is included with each download.
