Lets learn how to draw animals together! There are few things more
fascinating and beautiful on Earth than animals. They come in all shapes and
formsfrom tiny birds to gigantic elephants, sweet deer to sly foxes, and striped
zebras to spotted giraffes. You can pick your favorite animals from this book to draw,
or you can think of animals that I havent included. There are forty-ve different
types of animals in this book, but thats 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 havent 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 its impossible
to draw them just one way. At rst glance, a family of zebras might look very similar,
but if you look closely you will notice that they dont have the same identical stripes.
Think of yourselfyou might look a little bit like the
rest of your family, but you dont 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 THIS BOOK
These 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 rst, and then add in the smaller details.

If you have tracing paper, you can trace the drawings directly, but dont 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 youre not afraid of making
mistakes. When you feel more comfortable with drawing, explore by using many
different types of toolspens, colored pencils, markers, or even paints. Color in the
