How To Draw Animals Easily

About this app

This App will show you ways to draw animals. You need not start with the first illustration. Choose whichever you wish. When you have chosen, follow the step-by-step method shown. Very lightly and carefully, sketch out step number one. However, this step, which is the easiest, should be done most carefully. Step number two is added on top of step number one, also lightly and also very carefully. Step number three is sketched right on top of numbers one and two. Continue in this way to the last step. It may seem strange to ask you to be extra careful when you are drawing what seem to be the easiest first steps, but this is most important because a careless mistake at the beginning may spoil the whole picture at the end. As you sketch out each step, watch the spaces between the lines, as well as the lines themselves, and see that they are the same. After each step, you may want to lighten your work by pressing it with a plastic, or `putty' rubber (available at art supply shops). When you have finished, you may want to re do the final step in India ink with a fine brush or pen-or use a fine pointed felt-tip pen. When the ink is dry, use the plastic rubber to clean off the pencil lines. The rubber will not affect the ink.



Here are some suggestions: In the first few steps, even when all seems quite correct, you might do well to hold your work up to a mirror. Sometimes the mirror shows that you've twisted the drawing off to one side without being aware of it. At first you may find it difficult to draw the egg shapes or circles, or just to make the pencil go where you want it to. Don't be discouraged. The more you practice, the more you will develop control. Use a compass to help you if you wish; professional artists do! The only equipment you will need will be a medium or soft pencil, paper, the plastic rubber and, if you wish, a com- pass, pen or brush and India ink-or a felt-tip pen. Remember, this app presents only one method of drawing. In a most enjoyable way, it will help you to develop a certain skill and control. But there are many other ways of drawing to which you can apply this skill, and the more of them you try, the more interesting your drawings will be.
