the site dedicated to drawing.
So lets get going on how to draw Animals.
Animals are very rewarding to draw, there is such variety in shape
and size from a tiny mouse to a magnificent African Elephant. Can
you think of any other group of creatures that has such contrast.
There is so much to draw here so much to observe and capture.
For the most part being able to draw something is down to careful
observation, take time to study what you wish to draw. Look at it's
proportions, how big is one part to another, find a part of it that you
can compare to the rest treat it like a ruler. Also look for how things
relate to each other.
But before you start first chose a soft drawing pencil like a 4B or
8B and get a soft putty eraser rather than a conventional eraser
and a good quality drawing pad, these will help in achieving the
results you are after.
For drawing animals why not draw your cat or dog. Or go to a park
and sketch the squirrels there and if your lucky the dear. Also a
wildlife park if you have one nearby is excellent for animals to draw.
What I am going to show you now is how to start and work through
to a finished drawing.
