Drawing Class: Animals Review & GIVEAWAY

Coming soon! Drawing Class: Animals: Learn to Draw with Simple Shapes and Online Tutorials by Heegyum Kim. Join this award-winning illustrator in 60 beginner-level lessons. She takes you from the first steps to the final details, step by step. Her stylized animals are delightful - they inspire and motivate. Begin by drawing a combination of large and small rectangles, triangles and circles. These simple shapes will form the basis of your drawing. Add marks and details, gradually developing your animal's personality. Once you've finished drawing - bring your sketch to life with color and pattern. The author suggests using colored pencils. Follow the examples given. Work through the coloring process until your illustration is complete. Take your drawing a step further with some sketch studies. They involve changes to the animal's position, close-ups, etc. For each animal, there are several options. The sketch studies will help you get familiar with the animal's physical characteristics. The variety of animals is fabulous. There is a diverse selection from all over the world. They make the exercises fun. Get plenty of practice and build up your confidence. Add a pencil, eraser, colored pencils and paper. Want a look behind the scenes? An added feature of this book is the unique QR code with each drawing. Scan the square-shaped black-and-white symbol with a smartphone. It will lead you to a video of the author drawing that animal. See excerpts and the table of contents below. This 128-page paperback will be released on March 14, 2023, by Quarry Books. It is available now for pre-order. Get your copy below!

  11. I hate to admit it but I would use this book to teach myself to draw. I am absolutely pathetic. My grandchildren put me to shame when they were in kindergarten.
