Animals

Instructions
Each animal has 8 easy steps to follow. Start with step 1, and then add each new element in the next step. After 8 steps, you have a whole animal! Whenever you see a little pink eraser, it means that you erase lines instead of draw them in that step. After your animal is done, you can color it in, mix it with other animals, or anything else you want.

Color Wheel

The color wheel helps artists decide which colors look good together. The lines connect opposite colors, which are also considered complimentary to each other. Three colors in a row are called analogous colors. Red, blue, and yellow are the primary colors, and orange, green and purple are the secondary colors.

Last Words/Author Autobiography

I hope you enjoyed this book. When I was about 7 years old, I had a couple drawing books similar to this one, and I spent hours and hours drawing things from them. Today I spend my artistic energy doing web design and painting when I can. I truly believe that those drawing books I had as a child were the catalyst for my career. I hope that you or your children get something as worthwhile as that from this book. Any comments, questions, or suggestions can be emailed to bonnie@ebookmall.com. Please let me know if you enjoyed this book or if you would like further additions. A new edition could include an advanced drawing section, more on color, more about people, etc.
